I too, live in an apartment, and practicing at home can be difficult to impossible, for obvous reasons. Luckily, I live near enough to a music school that I can travel to one of the lesser used practice buildings, and practice myself silly, without disturbing anyone (at least without disturbing neighbors; the person in the next practice room may not necessarily appreciate my playing).
I also think that sometimes, the very act of going somewhere else to practice helps me get in a more productive session. If I have made an effort to go somewhere to practice, I am more likely to get in some serious work, without the lure of the TV, computer, refrigerator, sterio, spouse, cats, etc.
