That's probably a matter of lack of demand, though. In my Southern European city you can find everything from a tiny studio to a 3200sq ft apartment with 5+ bedrooms, right in the middle of the city. Of course, it'll cost you.
- bluGill 7y agoIn the US it isn't lack of demand it is lack of supply. Yes it will cost, but most cities won't allow you to build such thing, so you can't get 5+ bedrooms at any price.
- icebraining 7y agoEh, people who buy 5+ bedroom apartments in city centres, and the people who build them, are not exactly political outcasts. I'm pretty sure that if there were enough of them, they could nudge the city councils into changing those regulations.
- bluGill 7y agoThe problem is it is a vicious circle there aren't very many, so nobody has a family in the area, thus the schools are the low income inter city schools that you wouldn't send your kid to, thus nobody with kids would move to such an apartment given a choice. You can hate the suburbs as much as you want, but the type of person who would want a 5 bedroom apartment as a first choice is going to move to the suburbs in the end because none of the benefits of the city are worth sending your kids to bad schools.
