Micro-apartments may be the urban trend of the future. In San Francisco, the average city studio rents for $2100. But the micro-apartment featured in this CNNMoney video is located in the SOMA neighborhood and leases for $1600. According to Patrick Kennedy of Panoramic Interests, the 295-square-foot apartment offers the same amenities of the typical San Francisco efficiency but on a smaller scale. Urban singles or couples (sans kids) who want to pare down on stuff but live robustly in the heart of a city may find the micro-apartment an ideal residential solution.
