The alternative would be rowhouses (or even just duplexes), which could easily be better at both noise and smell insulation than these things.

Row houses or duplexes, both of which would share a wall, would be better on noise and smell than detached units? Have you been eating paint chips again?

Yes, replacing two walls with windows in them with one wall with sound insulation and a vapor barrier means less noise and smell transmission.

I take it you've never lived in either a decent duplex or a closely spaced single family.
