I thought that was usually in the basement. Haven't personally lived in one of these though

The basement is for storing your winter supplies like jars of jam, pickled.. anything.... and the various alcoholic concoctions. Some have also a room for storing bikes and strollers.

TBF in my building the laundry rooms are on the bottom. But we also have storage down there, and that doubles as a bomb shelter.

The basement has storage spaces.
