What drives people to buy 15 square meters apartments
According to sanitary standards, living space per person should be at least 6 square meters. If the living area is less than this norm, then a person has the right to count on a state program to improve housing. This metric of living space allows developers to build so-called small families.
By 2020, it has become popular in Russia to build apartments with an area of 15 square meters. Despite the bewilderment of most people, such housing is popular in the country. This is due to the acute problem of lack of money for young families to buy their own homes. Such apartments are much cheaper than standard one-room and even more two-room apartments.
Bad credit history and gray wage payments have made it almost impossible to buy a home using a mortgage in most regions of the country. Besides, mentally many young families are not ready to pay mortgage payments for 20 years or more. Relatives usually provide assistance with the solution of the housing issue, and it is easier for them, in turn, to help them purchase cheap housing.
In this case, for the same student, buying an apartment of 15 square meters becomes the ideal solution. In fact, people only sleep there, but some manage to make repairs and make such apartments really suitable for living. At the same time, they have a bathroom with a toilet in a separate room, sometimes a shower is made. The kitchen and the bedroom become one.
In addition, the purchase of such apartments will be an ideal solution for those who are rarely at home and often travel. The area of a hotel room does not differ much from such apartments.
Some apartments are bought by agencies and rented out at low cost. Such apartments become an ideal solution for the same students and labor migrants.
