Change the apartment to a condo and the answer shifts quite a bit. Condos offer lots of amenities and more luxury. Many people choose condos over houses because they like the lifestyle of not maintaining property and living in a dense area with lots of things to do. Even people living in suburban houses like dense cities, they just spend an hour driving to the city for evening or weekend recreation activities that a condo resident can walk to.

One problem with the picture is that if you want to spend much time doing certain things in nature, such as camping or kayaking, you need storage space for equipment. Condos and apartments tend to lack storage space.

I think problem there is more that people think you need huge pipes of stuff just to go camping. I don't know of single person anymore who camps with a tent. They just can't handle being so close to nature, I guess, even though that's purportedly the reason they burned 100 litres of fuel hauling their ~~mobile home~~ 40 foot camper to the ~~trailer park~~ RV site.
