I've been working on this huge senior/assisted living "club" in downtown. There's a mix of units, from 3 bedroom "independent living" to these studios for alzheimer's patients. We're trying to fit all the different needs into the available space in the building (urban projects are actually pretty fun because its really challenging), and still provide enough manuevering room in the public areas for an abnormal amount of wheelchairs and disabled seniors to make their way around. Anyway, I was thinking these "memory care" units seemed really small at around 300 sf. I decided to measure our apartment for a comparison, and how much room do we have here?
292 sf.
I'm not complaining, its just kind of funny. Our kitchen still cracks me up. Its like a badge of honor to say how small of a living space you've managed to adapt to. As long as its temporary of course...

It will be fun to tell the kids someday about how bad you had it when they want a horse or X Box 360 and throw a fit when you say no.
I was trying to compare your studio with the apartment Tommy and I had when we first moved out here. I thought, take our apartment and minus about 400 sq. feet! Wow, that's tiny.
Erin and I found a place here in California a little smaller than your apartment for sale at $150,000. A bargain we thought. It's an upstairs unit so you don't have to hear footsteps above your head.
I can't believe you found anything for sale in OC under 300,000. It must have been in a really scary neighborhood.
