In suite laundry is a huge bonus. Shared laundry rooms are a pain, because you cant leave your stuff there for sizeable lengths of time. Also you have to find change. Sound varies from condo to condo. No way to tell until you are in the place.
Ive lived high and low, didnt really notice a differnce. I know people have had trouble on ground floor though with break ins. Depends on the neighbourhood though, because ground floor entrance can be kind of convenient for having people over.
Normally the strata will have policies for moving furniture in. You have to alert them, rent an elevator, sometimes hire security. Usually you cant move in on sundays that kind of thing... Also make sure your stuff fits in the elevator.
As for neighbours... will depend on where the condo is. In a ty neighbourhood you could end up with some cracked out neighbours. I've had friends whose neighbours have threatened them, burnt things, broken into there appartments when out, but in the vast majority of situations people just keep to themselves. Most condos are set up so you can live in your own little world.
