For the curious, and since I saw someone in Balmung's Novice Network claiming that Shirogane apartments sold out inside of 30 minutes (they didn't - I logged on about 5 hours later and got Kobai Goten #30 no problem), here are the Kobai Goten buildings with apartments remaining:
If I hate myself I'll go over the other areas in a bit. But the main point: apartments did not, by any means, sell out 30 minutes after the patch. Maybe in Ward 1...
EDIT because I do hate myself, apparently. Caveat that these will change very quickly and are mostly provided for the purposes of expressing that, no, not All The Apartments On Balmung Are Gone.
TL;DR There are definitely free apartments. Most of them are in subdivisions; reminder both that subdivisions have their own separate apartment buildings, and that you can check the status of that building upon zone-in by clicking this:
and looking to see if it has a red tick on it:
(red tick, building is full)
(no red tick, building has free apartments)
