I'm interested in unit mix by building height ... so here's a breakdown of the unit/floorplan mix of new construction apartment buildings in Austin, Texas

The 3BR and 4BR units in the taller buildings are an illusion. Since this is Austin, those are ~all student housing units, rented by the bedroom, which just have very different floorplans.
I get that it is Austin but it is still disappointing how committed the US is not building family-sized apartment units because we assume everyone with say 2 kids simply must prefer a house. Is ofc "the system" but still sad to see it play out!
So much this! I have a family so would like more rooms, but absolutely hate living in a house. I like living in an apartment style building. I think it feels safer and I prefer to live in denser, more walkable neighborhoods.

2-story buildings produce about 10% the total unit count of 3 or 4 stories
