What Are Micro-Apartments?
A micro-apartment is simply a very small apartment, often with high ceilings, with an open floor plan. They can be anywhere from 100 to 500 ft.² of living area, but they are typically around 350 ft.². They are usually located in larger cities where real estate is expensive and in short supply, and they typically include a bathroom, a kitchen area, and spaces to sit and sleep. Tenants often have space-saving furniture such as a Murphy bed or futon, ottomans with storage, foldable chairs, stackable furniture (nesting tables), a foldable ironing board, and small or hidden appliances. Some spaces are used for more than one purpose. An example of this is a Murphy bed that gets folded up in the morning and replaced by a couch throughout the day. The outside areas of micro-apartments often have communal areas that might include a patio, gym, swimming pool, or lawn.
