Check out what the average size apartments are for the Midwest! Here is an interesting blog I found on www.rentcafe.com/blog. 
  • The average size of new apartments in 2022 was 887 square feet — a 54 square-foot drop in the last 10 years ago. It was also the largest year-over-year decrease, down 30 square feet.
  • Among other factors, the drop in size can be attributed to more studios and one-bedroom apartments entering the market in 2022, reaching a historic share of 57%.
  • Tallahassee, FL, led the nation with the largest apartments, while Seattle offered the smallest apartments.
  • Apartments in Tucson, AZ, saw the largest increase in apartment size.
  • Silver Spring, MD, apartments saw the largest decrease in the last 10 years.
