There are two big problems here:
1) Any round that penetrates less in building materials, will also penetrate less
badguy, as well. Personally, I'd worry about stopping the fight first, and overpenetration second. If ammo X doesn't do the former, I don't care about the latter.

2) "Trick" ammo like Glaser, MagSafe and Air Freedom are prohibitively expensive, which makes function testing and regular practice with them problematic. Further, because they are of nontraditional weight and construction, there's no cheap ball equivalent available for training purposes.
My advice?
1) Establish "safe" fields of fire within your apartment, which offer the least chance for a round (either a miss or overpenetration) to go someplace where it can do collateral damage.
2) If you do have to shoot, remember Rule 4 (be sure of your target and what is beyond it)
3) Apartment living sucks ***
Good luck...
