Anecdotally, it feels like Americans generally don't care about natural lighting. About twenty years ago, my wife was looking for apartments and asked the leasing office if there was any unit available facing south or east. Apparently it was unusual enough a question that the apartment manager asked back if it was for religious reasons.

I would be more tempted to explain this by saying that apartment managers don't care or think about this sort of thing.

Ask the same question to a realtor and they'll know exactly why you're asking.
