I'd say that cordless is a better choice for an apartment tasks. If you have friends with such tools who would be willing to loan you tools or batteries on occasion, consider buying a tool using same batteries. My choice with cordless is due to improved portability, not having to depend on power outlet near by or power at all (beside the battery).
My only corded power tool is Dremel. I went with Milwaukee for all cordless tools as my buddy auto mechanic (shop owner) ran his shop/business with those tools. Imho, for apartment use a 12V drill is basically all one needs, it can be used as a driver as well utilizing torque settings to control power. My drill is a 12V hammer drill and I never needed 18V one inside the house.
