I thought I'd like this lifestyle but eventually grew tired of bringing up groceries and taking garbage/recyclables to the dumpster. And it wasn't even a tall building. I can't imagine dealing with this and a kid. Going up and down elevators is a nuisance, like living in a hotel.

I think that depends on the building.
My biggest complaint about my last building was the elevators. It was a former bank(24 stories) that got renovated into apartments. The elevators was slow, not intelligent at all, and were always packed because of those reasons. Taking my dog out 3 times a day and just living life became annoying. I avoided leaving my apartment some days because of the annoyance(I did the math and came to the conclusion I spent about 40 hours+ just waiting for my elevator while taking my dog out over a year).
My new building is smaller, has smarter elevators, and less units per elevator. I am almost NEVER in an elevator with others nor do I usually wait more than 5-10 seconds for one.
