I've had one apartment w/o a dishwasher, and that was a 100+ yo house that had been converted into apartments, and the kitchen was super small.
Other than that, every apartment and house has had a dishwasher. Mine actually has two (second is in a basement kitchenette w/ no stove or oven).
We had no dishwasher in our first flat, as we put a washing machine there - it was either that or carrying the laundry up and down several levels.
Wow, a washing machine in the kitchen? That's really odd...
I feel so privileged having a separate laundry room and a dishwasher in my kitchen. That's really typical for my area (US), and I've only had one apartment that didn't have laundry hookups in a separate room (in a bathroom or closet).
The bathroom was never intended to host a washing machine, as there were spaces in the basement for that. But I would not want my handicapped wife to have to carry all the laundry up- and downstairs. And we used a machine that was both a washer and dryer in one, The flat was quite small, but as a first place to live on our own, it was fine.
Sounds like our second apartment, which was a huge piece of crap.
I've seen movable washing machines and dishwashers than can stay in a closet when not in use, and then wheeled into the kitchen and hooked up to the faucet and drain as needed.
