so i live in an apartment complex and pay relatively decent $$ to live here ($800 mo for a 1 br) across the street is a black black family with about 8 kids. And these kids are always outside screaming, playing with a basketball (they even set up a hoop somewhere..pretty sure complex doesnt allow it) And i was kinda of bearing it, but i seriously cant relax in the middle of the day with a bunch of little punk kids swearing, calling each other the N word, and playing basketball outside my apartment. even with the windows closed i can still hear them, which i shouldnt have to close just to block out their noise. Furthermore sometimes they play with car alarms and get them to go off around midnight, as well as playing basketball at 10am and waking me up. Im not sure if i should try to talk to them, their parents, make a complaint w/the main office (talked to some of my neighbors who claimed to already have done so in the past and main office didnt care since these tenants have been living her 5+ yrs) What's the best way to approach this situation?
im ready to cus these kids out from my balcony..but im holding myself back as im not sure how much good that would do

Wait them out. In a year or two they will outgrow it, go to prison, or discover girls. Any way, problem solved.

So, you're mad about kids playing?

You're in an apartment, nothing much you can do. When they are actually making noise on your property or you can hear them from your property then you can yell at them and shake your fist at the whippersnappers.

Is the other family in a one bedroom apartment too?
Likely there are apartment or zoning rules against so many people in a 1 bedroom place.

Ugh, I've been in a similar situation, and quite honestly the only way to win this battle is to move.

We lived in an apartment complex where every apartment had a deck. We had maybe 2 chairs and a BBQ grill out there. Our neighbors had 2 dogs with constant 30 pounds of dog shit on their deck. We tried to do a few things, but finally realized the only real way "out" of the situation was to move to a house.
