There are not a heck of a lot of apartment complexes in the area. The only nice one I can think of off the top of my head is Olde Orchard in South Burlington. I believe they are owned & managed by Larkin Realty.
Most apartments in the area are housed in older homes (liked you've noticed), or "mother-in-law" apartments in single family homes.
There also seem to be quite a few condo units around the folks rent out.

Good luck!
