In the country’s 100 largest renter cities, more two- and three-bedroom apartments were built in the last two years, and that slightly increased the size of the average new apartment. In 2023, the average size among these cities was 916 square feet.for more space. The largest share of apartments built last year — 48% — had one bedroom. And the recent flood of new apartments in Philadelphia have largely been studio and one-bedroom units.
RentCafe’s analysis considered apartments in professionally managed multifamily buildings with 50 units or more and looked at the 100 U.S. cities with the largest stock of these units. Apartment developers in denser cities such as Philadelphia generally have less space to work with, which is why more spacious places tend to have larger apartments, Ressler said.
