There are several factors at play that can increase or reduce the chance of getting cockroaches. In general, older homes and apartments have a much higher chance of getting cockroaches than modern homes. Partially due to the materials used that make it less likely for a cockroach to infiltrate a home. Older residential homes and apartments have more wear and tear present that create gaps, holes, cracks, and structural faults that make it easier for cockroaches to exploit these spots as an entry-point.

What most people do not realize is that these holes or cracks can be so narrow that we cannot imagine cockroaches c fitting through there. It is why gaps, holes, and cracks need to be thoroughly looked at and sealed to prevent an infestation. Another issue arises when we talk about apartments. Because these spaces are often interconnected not only through various pipes and wiring, but also may share a shared water system that gets distributed to several apartments. Once cockroaches know how to exploit these narrow openings, they can easily infest another apartment and the next to it until the whole floor has a cockroach problem. In this case, it is better to go to the landlord or the management to find out what your rights are regarding an apartment-wide infestation.
In case you are dealing with cockroaches in a residential area, chances may be that these cockroaches simply migrated from one house to the other. The issue with older homes, especially, close to main streets, is that these homes might have been standing there for more than a hundred years or so making it quite challenging to maintain without taking away some of its historical integrity. Maintaining and sealing gaps in an antiquated home can be challenging as weather and other elements can have a quite corrosive effect on the foundation as well as the exterior façade. Structural gaps, cracks, ruptures in brick stone can give way to cockroaches as well as mice and rats who may seek the comfort of your home in the winter. It is therefore important to hire professional pest control technicians perform an exterior as well as an interior inspection to point out cockroach prone areas that need sealing immediately.
