The word tenement has an extremely negative connotation in America. Dark. Dirty. Old. Dickensian. I'm thinking some element of meaning must have changed across the Atlantic. Nobody here would describe their own home as a tenement, unless he was making a special point to emphasize how awful it is.

Oh not at all. Tenements buildings in Glasgow are a mixture, none are 'awful' and many are very palatial and cost up to £750,000. Tenement here just means a style of building.
