I don’t think it would be as bad as you think it would be - Depending on how much of a yard you currently have and how much you use it. A lot of living is pretty similar, you don’t see your neighbours as much as you think you would think. Heated parking. Secure package areas (package pirates are non-existent depending on the building) you don’t have to go outside to get the Mail or take out garbage (no garbage days). No shovelling or mowing lawns (if that isn’t your thing). Balconies for bbqs and bistro set for outdoor eating. If you’re in a concrete building the noise isn’t as bad as people say. I don’t hear my neighbours. I can hear my top neighbour workout a bit (a Covid thing) but it could just as well be my wife on the the second floor jumping around.
You can have some pretty sick views and rarely do you see right into peoples places. I remember living in the burbs and it was so strange at first being effectively on display to my backyard neighbours. Modern suburban homes with massive picture windows looking straight into your neighbours living room
