Welcome to the community!
i'll start by saying, Welcome! 
then say a mini fridge would probably be best by most other peoples standards...because they like fermenting ale at stuff like 65f...and that's outdoor temp here right now, and i have to bundle up to go outside....i keep the house 72f....AND i still have to suit up...
i think this would fit my 16 gallon milk pail fermenter even for 10 gallon batches.....

when you figure that's WITH shipping pretty good deal....probably could find similar locally for $100....
This is what I was thinking, but was curious where it was going to go

apartment dweller?
i like a challenge...
i was looking for the peltier stick/rod thing you stick in a carboy, but google just returned this...pretty cool apartment cooler....

someone else will have to put a link for the rod you stick in a carboy, if they still make them....me personally, i don't mind fermenting at 80f....
Best is cheapest find that will fit your carboy - I sourced a chest freezer for $30 on Craigslist in like new condition, and paired up with a temp controller - inkbirds weren’t around back then, but that’s what I would get now with a WiFi for convenience.
Before then I was swamp coolering which helped drop the carboy by about 5 degrees, but with house at 78, was still only lower 70s not counting the temperature spike that happens in early fermentation.
