First...check with your apt community about making changes.
Some places dont really care...some do care about uniformity.
If they don't care...I'd run string lights.
Hang LED Edison lighting from the ceiling rafters. If you took your time, you could probably run a power cord up the corner clipping into onto the siding...and it wouldn't look all that bad.
Also...check out the Ikea patio floor tiles. Would look way better than the concrete
I haven't attempted outdoor lighting yet but I can imagine this would be a fair amount of work, especially without a structure. I wonder if you could use the TS-99B stands with a bracket on top to hold them up around a perimeter? Or maybe pipe/drape poles and base plates. Zigzag over the audience? I don't know how you'd do that due to the weight. For reference, I put these up on the pergola behind my house and they are really nice... https://www.amazon.com/Outdoor-Commercial-Dimmable-Weatherproof-Connectable/dp/B01LYXQYU5/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1517583818&sr=8-13&keywords=outdoor+string+lights
I bought them at Home Depot under the Hampton Bay brand. But they are rather heavy. I have them supported by small hooks at every bulb which was a little overkill but it's a permanent install. You'd need stands fairly close together or cabling like Kameix1 mentioned to support the weight. Pricing doesn't sound terrible at around $650 but the liability has me on edge.
