In apartments this has always been the case for me. I moved in to a townhouse recently and the neighbours on one side spend half the day gardening out the front so I do end up talking to them.

I think it would be nice if apartment buildings prioritised making some communal space that’s comfortable to hang out in so you’d have a chance to chat with people who live in the building. Usually it’s just some token couch in the lobby.

Have you tried nailing 95 theses to their doors, by way of introduction?
Most apartments I've lived in have a communal rec room of sorts. No one ever uses it.
