> Appartement blocks on the other hand is all reinforced concrete I believe.

Five-over-one is probably the most common new residential apartment building variant in the US today, it’s a single story of concrete (commercial space or common areas) with 4-5 floor of stick built (wood-framed) apartment housing on top. Developers only build apartment towers when the land is expensive enough to force them to.
