Sorry to hear about your situation OP. For under $4k/mo, your options are wide for a 2b/2ba. I would suggest The Union over a new construction like Audubon or Corsair because the Union was a retrofit from a commercial building, hence floors are SOLID. Like, concrete so no creaky floor noises and noise from other units will deflect MUCH better. Plus location can’t be beat as you’re in the heart of downtown, if that’s important.
Virtually all apartments will have thinnish walls, because they save on construction costs that way (and you can be sure the new ones like Audubon will be), so some noise will propagate. So your best bet is to find a corner/end unit where the bedrooms are or make sure the bedroom is adjacent to another unit’s kitchen. Why? Because you get significant additional noise insulation from the cabinets, appliances and tiling. And better if that adjacent unit is a studio or 1 bed because that probably rules out loud parties or at least young families that’s causing your current issues. Good luck.
