As Apartments Continue To Shrink, Developers Redefine Micro-Living

As Apartments Continue To Shrink, Developers Redefine Micro-Living: Apartments are shrinking but not dropping amenities.



"If the average U.S. apartment did the Facebook 10-year challenge, it would reveal itself to be 52 SF skinnier"
