In some cases, this is true. It very much depends on your market. In Sacramento, where families rule, it was hard to sell the last one-bedroom unit. Our one-beds are around 700sf, and two of them have been expanded to two bedrooms by enclosing a deck. This is one way a family with very low income was able to afford to live here. When they could afford it, they built another room. It would be a good idea to plan for that, as Sharon says. All of our finishes were standardized so we didn't have to fight to get anything in the one-beds that was in the larger units. Change-orders cost money. ***Standardization is the key to keeping costs down for everyone.*** -- Liz Stevenson Southside Park Cohousing Sacramento, California tamgoddess [at] attbi.com > Small spaces will be in great demand.
