Why limits vary so much
The right dwelling limit depends on what the master policy and bylaws make you responsible for. In one building that is only paint and carpet; in another it is everything inside the drywall including kitchens and baths. Start by reading your association documents.

Do I need HO-6 if the building has insurance?
Usually yes. The master policy rarely covers your belongings or personal liability, and often not your interior.
