How do age mix, renter turnover, and building size affect whether a Dallas apartment feels social?

Quick answer

Age mix affects energy and comfort: a community with many residents in their 20s and 30s often feels more natural for recent graduates. High turnover makes lasting relationships harder and may signal a management problem. Building size alone is not decisive; both 100-unit and 1,000-unit communities can be social when management creates strong programming and resident retention.
