Micro Apartments: Are These Small Living Spaces Right For You?
Finding affordable apartments has become a challenge, especially as inflation continues to affect home and rental prices. This is especially true if you’re a first-time renter, like a student or a new professional. As prices continue to increase, people are looking for smaller apartments to stay within their budget. A popular option for many people is the micro-apartment.
With recent skyrocketing rents across the country and sizzling red hot real estate market the past few years, micro apartments and “compact” housing have gained a lot of attention these days. Many cities, including Seattle, have started to re-examine the need for building more micro apartments and to further increase housing density - as part of an overall strategy to address regional housing affordability crisis and growing home ownership demands.
While not as common in the United States outside of metropolitans like Manhattan - micro apartments and condos are widely popular in places like Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore. To many people, living in a micro apartment is not only an economic necessity but also a lifestyle choice. There is a unique allure to the "micro" or "mini" way of modern living.
