I very much doubt that to be true. As far as I've understood it, a far too large amount of land in the U.S is zoned to be single-family housing, effectively preventing this type of home to be built. That precludes any choice in the matter. People in the U.S opt for single-family homes because they are really the only available option.

I've lived in both, and while I'd never want to move into most US apts/condos, I'd happily live in many European ones, even those built after 1970 (arbitrary number).
