As a westerner that spent time in Poland and lived in one of these buildings (in a renovated unit), I can say there were things to like. The best part is like you say, the green spaces between the buildings, particularly when you had a view on them from one of the upper floors. Very peaceful on the balcony. Plus the stairs were good exercise :)

Yeah, this is pretty much where I grew up - loved walking between the buildings, lots of places to play and I never felt unsafe:
