I’ve been looking out my apartment windows for the past few days and it seems like clouds have been forming at the “same” height everyday ? Is there a specific range that water can condense into clouds and then why is it like that?

They don’t. Take a flight, and you’ll learn that there are multiples layers of clouds and air most of the time, with thousands of feet in between.
Cloud formation is simply a matter of moisture levels and temperature. When you wake up in the morning and encounter fog, you’re hitting clouds that just happened to have the right conditions to form at ground level.
As you go up you’ll encounter different temperature zones that might help encourage or discourage cloud formations, and you might hit pockets of very active air that stirs things up too much to let clouds form, but you’re definitely not seeing the same formations at the exact same heights daily.
