Maybe this is the product of being an only child, but I can barely stand living with people I love, let alone a bunch of random people. I'm an introvert, I tend to choose who I let into my inner life very carefully. I'm not the type to automatically make friends with my neighbors just because of physical proximity. Last time I did, it turned into a disaster, and now I'm wary to hang out in my own yard in case they decide to stick their heads over the fence and annoy me.
The only way this would appeal to me would be if rent/price was very inexpensive, more so than other living situations in the same area. And if the place were child-free.
I acknowledge that middle-aged female curmudgeons may not be your intended demographic
