You really do not realize how big (or small, rather) apartment complexes are. 100-unit building is the size of 6-7 single family homes (or maybe 3 McMansions), and maybe twice as high. It would barely be noticeable in such neighborhood.
See this for example: https://ctexaminer.com/2021/10/23/100-unit-apartment-complex-planned-in-guilford-on-states-affordable-housing-statute/ https://ctexaminer.com/2021/10/23/100-unit-apartment-complex...
- mperham 4y agoIt's not really the size of the building, it's the size of the parking lot and the resulting traffic. That's what *everyone* hates. With parking minimums of 2 spots per unit, your standard 800 sq ft apartment requires another 600 sq ft of parking. And units can be stacked relatively cheaply, parking can't.

I've seen residential buildings with 3 underground levels, to accommodate all the parking requirements. But in case of 100-unit thing that should not be necessary, one level is enough.
