You're pretty lucky.  I live in an apartment complex.  There are at 
least six other 802.11b/g networks visible from my location.  It took a 
lot of experimentation before I found a channel that was clear enough 
that I could even get SDTV to play smoothly over 802.11g, and if I 
connect any 802.11b clients to my network it all goes to pot again.  
Complicating things is 802.11's spread-spectrum modulation -- the signal 
is actually 3 channels wide, so there aren't nearly as many usable 
channels as it would appear at first glance.
