Can you run some CAT5 around the complex? If so, I would probably run
a few cables to key points and install a few cheap APs.

Yes, that would achieve the same thing. Restricted bandwidth tho (even
the fastest Powerline kit is rated at 85Mb and throughput seems
realistically to be significantly lower).

>2) to buy a repeater, but I've no idea of which one


Nor me. Bear in mind that each repeater halves the bandwidth.
