Right-sizing vs room-maxing: New data reveals generational apartment divide
New Research Reveals How Different Generations Are Redefining Apartment Living
New research from realestate.com.au has highlighted a growing divide in how Australians approach apartment living, with downsizers prioritising comfort, space and low-maintenance living, while younger buyers favour flexibility and adaptable floorplans.

– Sustainable features are valued more highly than wellness add-ons.
– Younger buyers are more willing to trade living space for flexible rooms that can function as a home office, guest room or future income-generating space.
