Microapartments

All are very clever designs... although I still prefer to have a bedroom with a door that can be closed and not having to “make” a bed up like that every day. The Murphy bed is a great idea for multi-functional guest bedroom/office space.

A school district in Arizona is building a tiny home community for cash-strapped teachers who can’t afford local housing.

 

Let's pay the people teaching the next generation's scientists, political leaders, etc., so poorly that they can't even afford to live in a studio apartment.....what can possibly go wrong.....

True, but to be fair, in this case...

 

The small town of Vail, located about 25 miles southeast of Tucson, has an average home price of $258,000 and no apartments within the 425-square-mile school district

If housing is needed, then the school board, etc., should be talking to the city/county government about offering incentives (possibly property tax breaks, for example) to try to get developers to build an apartment complex or two.

 

Don't get me wrong, trying to come up with some sort of housing possibilities for teachers is not a bad thing, at all. But teachers -- like most people -- don't stay as 1-person households indefinitely. At some point, they are going to have children, get married, etc. And only so many people can live in 300 square feet.

Not germane to microapartments, per se, but my neighbors just sold their 2 bedroom as the husband got a faculty position at NYU and was able to negotiate a large apartment overlooking union square for their family of 4. Market value would be around 12 to 15K per month... so they are saving money and making money. Win win for them.

I am always amazed at the creativity of people who live in microapartments. I love the use of the old tiles and mirrored stairs. Great effect! Thank you for sharing

You're right! I think it's the creativity shown that I appreciate the most from these...

I'd like to live in a micro apartment where everything is only a few paces away.
