- mmcwilliams 10y agoThey've been building micro units in Boston for a while now, but the results are less than impressive: http://realestate.boston.com/news/2014/11/26/micro-units-pop-up-in-boston-fetch-high-prices/ http://realestate.boston.com/news/2014/11/26/micro-units-pop... $2,000/mo for 420sqft
- ghaff 10y agoAlthough I don't have the figures, I suspect that by the time you factor in all the infrastructure for a unit (elevators, common areas, hallways, parking (?), etc.) you don't really cut out all that much cost by reducing units by a few hundred square feet. Seaport rents are particularly extreme for reasons that I confess I don't fully understand but you definitely get into diminishing returns as you decrease apartment size.
