It is the right question :-) Mostly people live in apartments, but there're options. My city is relatively new, about 80 years old. That's why it reflects the wave of the Soviet industrialisation. It's very pragmatic in its core. Even its name "Elektrostal" means "Electric steel", because there's a factory which started to produce steel with the help of electricity (I'm not an engineer, so it's how I can describe it).

But the city next to mine is much older, so it has less big buildings and more private houses. Living in a private house is surely a more private way of life. But it involves taking care of all things (gas, electricity, water, etc.), it's usually farther away from your job, and mainly it costs more, nevertheless such things as "townhouses" are rather popular here as well.

The answer is that the majority of Russians does live in apartment houses. And even this option is rather pricey for them. It's usually problematic for children to move out from their parents, unless they are moving to someone who already has some extra space, this is how some people become... committed :-)
