I have an 80lb greyhound in a not-very-large apartment and life is easy. Energy levels are more important than size (greyhounds sleep a lot) when it comes to apartment living for dogs.

In general I think it's better for the dog to be small if the apartment is small.

But yes, greyhounds and similar breeds are easy to satisfy: Run a few hundred meters once or twice a day and they'll sleep off the rest.
