1450-sqft is more 2BR size in NYC for sure. Layout is underappreciated as well in terms of apartments versus freestanding homes. I've had North facing apartments that never got much light, and South facing apartments that got baked by the sun (75F indoors when it's 45F out on a sunny day). You can't really ventilate that 75F apartment when all the windows are on the same side. Both suck. Having 2-3 exposures in an apartment layout is a rare luxury. So we get no circulation and need to run central air more.
