micro apartments

Very small units

Micro apartments are extremely small residential units, typically under 400 square feet, designed to maximize limited urban space through efficient layouts and built-in furniture.

They emerged as a response to housing shortages and high rents in dense cities: She pays $1,800 a month for a micro apartment in Manhattan.

The concept prioritizes location and affordability over living space.
