The world is changing! Apartment complexes with community ground-floor work areas have been trending, especially since the onset of the pandemic. This booming multifamily trend is called the Live/Work Apartment!
- A live/work unit is defined as a single unit (studio, loft, or one or two-bedroom) consisting of both a commercial/office and a residential component occupied by the same resident. The live/work unit must be the primary dwelling of the occupant.
We are seeing more and more people looking for a flexible, live/work lifestyle that incorporates a home office.
The pandemic has forced a large percentage of the professional population to work from home; many have realized that working closer to home can be a long-term option. 
The desire for living space, quality, and flexibility continue to grow.
The work-from-home (WFH) trend exploded overnight, and people want larger living spaces with separate, quiet areas to work and study. The live/work trend, especially in urban areas, is impacting development throughout the country.
