The future of urban living
In a world where space is becoming increasingly scarce and the demand for urban living space continues to rise, micro-apartments have established themselves as one of the most promising solutions for the future. These compact but extremely functional flats are the ideal choice for singles, commuters and students in particular. In this article, we take a look at the latest developments in micro-apartments and flexible living concepts and show why they not only represent a sensible solution for the housing market, but also a lucrative investment opportunity.
What are micro-apartments?
Micro-apartments are smaller flats, usually between 20 and 35 square metres in size. Despite their small size, they are well thought out and equipped with everything you need for comfortable living. Multifunctional furniture and space-saving solutions such as pull-out beds and built-in kitchens optimise the use of space. In cities where living space is scarce and rents are high, micro-apartments are becoming increasingly important. Particularly in large cities, where the rental market is under high pressure, they offer an attractive solution for young professionals and students who do not need a large flat but want to live in a central location.
Flexible living concepts: More than just a trend
In addition to micro-apartments, flexible living concepts are also increasingly in demand. These range from flats that can be subdivided into smaller units or combined as required, to modular houses that can be flexibly adapted to the needs of the residents.
Another example is co-living models, where tenants share communal areas such as kitchens, living rooms or offices while living in private bedrooms. Co-living is particularly popular with young, urban people who want to emphasise the social aspect of living and share the costs of living space.
Why micro-apartments are an attractive investment
Due to the high demand and low construction costs, micro-apartments offer investors an attractive opportunity to enter the property market. Especially in urban centres, where more and more people have to live in small spaces, these flats are a real asset. Due to their small size, micro-apartments are also cheaper to maintain and offer a higher return per square metre than conventional flats. The high demand also ensures a low vacancy rate and a stable source of rental income. Combined with the increasing popularity of flexible living models and proximity to urban centres, micro-apartments are one of the most exciting investment opportunities of the future.
