Notes
I could not find a way to remove the event listener on scroll quick enough before the page changes. When the page changes, the ApartmentCards component vanishes from the page in an instant, which pulls your scroll immediately to the top. This causes the scroll to save that top position when you change pages. To resolve this, I set a max scroll difference which would prevent it from updating the scrollY in sessionStorage if the scroll position changes too much per update. However, this means that if you scroll really fast to the bottom, it will not save.
