My father grew up in a tenement in the 1930's in Fall River, Massachusetts. There were always tons of kids to play with, he spent all day outside playing Baseball, football, skating on the shallow pond in the park across the street from his house. Everyone was in the neighborhood was pretty poor, so no one felt bad about it (though some were worse off than others). There was the city dump a few blocks away that was always smoldering; not a coincidence that it was in the poor part of town! (Most of town was poor).
Life in a tenement was not good. It was really small and crowded. There usually was many immigrant families living in one tenement apartment. There was no plumbing. You had to get water from a faucet on the main floor of the tenement and bring it back up to your apartment. If you had to go to the bathroom there was a bucket for the whole tenement and when it was full someone had to bring it out to the street and dump it.

Overcrowding and Tenement Houses.
Life in a tenement was often crowded, unsanitary, and lacking in basic amenities. Families lived in small, cramped apartments with poor ventilation and shared bathrooms. Tenement buildings were often overcrowded, with multiple families living in close quarters, leading to privacy issues and increased risk of disease transmission.
Tenement housing is a rundown apartment that mostly immigrants used to survive because they wanted a better life in America. It was also filthy, unclean, and wreaked.
