I loved the flexibility with TS2 apartments. I downloaded a duplex and it was fun sharing half a house with someone in the game. I also liked adding some amenities to the common areas, like an apartment gym. The AI isn't really advanced enough to make apartment neighbors use the gym and some items, but at least my sim gets it all to himself :D Plus weekly apartment get togethers
TS3 apartments were the worst. You couldn't really visit your neighbors' units, and there were no amenities. They were basically reskinned one-household residences in a shell building. And they lagged a lot (but this might just be because of Bridgeport)
TS4 apartments were a bit better since you could visit your neighbors, but there were loading screens so they were functionally a different lot. There were no amenities either, but they did add apartment-specific gameplay like neighbors dropping by, noisy neighbors, and giving out copies of your apartment key to your friends
