magicalhometoursandstuff: Have you seen this? The oldest shopping mall in the US, The Arcade Providence, of Rhode Island has been converted to micro apt.’s. This is what it looked like 188 yrs. ago. 3 floors of shops. The top 2 floors have 48 apt’s. and there’s a mall on the bottom floor. The micro-apartments, range from 225 to 775 sq. ft. (and priced from $800 to $1,800 a month). Most measure 300 square feet or less. They’re fully furnished and tenants only need to show up with 2 suitcases. Each fully-furnished micro-space includes an elevated full bed over a four-drawer dresser, a small kitchen table, a sofa, a 50″ flat screen TV, and a full bathroom. Larger apartments do not come with a built-in bed. The kitchens are equipped with a mini-fridge, sink, dishwasher, and microwave — but no ovens or stove tops. Not only does the central atrium provide filtered light to the units, but it becomes the ‘public street’ connecting neighbors. On the 1st fl., there’s a common room with a TV & laundry room. On the 2nd fl., there’s storage space to park bikes or keep other belongings that don’t fit in the apartments.
