When I did Halloween in apartments, I'd always find someone with a house and pass out candy there because the first year in the apartment, I got ONE ToTer. And it just wasn't worth decorating for the complex Halloween contest if you didn't have a downstairs apartment (downstairs would always do their entryway and out into the common areas so everyone would see their decorations. They'd have to "look up" to see mine...)
The nice thing about balcony apartments is you can usually decorate the balcony and not have to worry about your display getting destroyed or ravaged by theft. Make a scene. Make it awesome!
If you want, put lights on the stairs going to your apartment... spiderwebs... etc. Decorate your door and have creepy things peeking out windows that face common areas.
Focusing more on decorating inside than out is another option.
... but just making the most with what you have to work with is enough to keep the holiday spirit alive!
