Highrises are just apartments.

Very large like Columbus Ohio?

I guess I tend to think of "high-rise" as a synonym for skyscraper. Something in the neighborhood of 10+ stories. I'm fairly certain that Columbus at least doesn't have many residential buildings that high outside of its downtown.

However, if we are counting 3 or so story apartments then there are definitely high-rises all over the place like you say.
