I'm no expert but I would suggest a small dog like a Chihuahua but I've read and been told they can be yappy. A Pug good for apartment style living, does'nt require a lot of exercise but I was told/ read then can be very gassy and do shed quite often. I really was going to get a Pug but got a Bichon instead. From the research I did, they are good for apartments also. My advise, research any dog your interested in on the web. You can also call local Vet offices to ask for additional info.

Toy breeds are perfect for small apartment. They don't need as much exercises as large breeds. When I lived in New York City, I got an 8-pound toy poodle. He was great in that place. Poodles also don't bark too much. You really don't want a breed that likes to bark, e.g.maltese, or your neighbours won't like you very much. Toy poodles are also known for being not-too-high-energy. So they are perfect for small place.I also trained my dog to go potty in a litter box. And I played fetching games with him in the apartment. He gets plenty of exercises that way.
