Hey Kevin,
50 50 I would say. I grew up on the fifth floor (no elevator) Apt. Had lots of friends all around the neighborhood. Two family houses, prewar buildings etc.
My dad's best friend, a WW2 army buddy had a house in Auburndale, Queens off Utopia Parkway. "Uncle Joe" as I called him, had two kids near my age, and an above ground swimming pool set up. Although the house sat on a "postage stamp sized" backyard I thought it was great to visit in the summertime.
I know my dad couldn't afford a house, but I still liked my old apartment. Miss Mom and Dad and the old apartment to this day.
