500-Square-Foot Rentals: Good Things in Small Packages

When it comes to living small, the experience within the stacked cityscape is quite different from the quaint micro-homes of suburbia. In the metropolis, pet policies, parking, and building amenities can make or break a deal.

With the right configuration, 500 square feet can easily accommodate a comfortable and fulfilling lifestyle. Whether you’re done with roommates and searching for your own place or considering downsizing during your spring cleaning frenzy, these metropolitan area rentals will be right up your alley.
