Why not just have larger apartments?

[KingMeteo]

Seems simple enough, make more apartment buildings with different sized instanced homes.

Penthouses and deluxe condos for alot more gilt, and even make full on 3 story open concept condos.

Lots of decorating possibilities, and you could make it so they have views across the ward theh are in, simulated picture, but still.

Yes/no??

A good idea, can help with the whole issue with the house buying. There's already enough problems going on with housing as it is.

About 2 years ago, they mentioned adding size options for apartments was one of the things they were considering but have said nothing since on the subject.

Certainly, it would help reduce demand for houses since many players are looking for more space to decorate and not garden access.

It'd also provide another much needed gil sink into the game by making people pay to upgrade their apartments or to buy the larger variant outright.

Would it need a 1 per account restriction like houses or allow any alts to have apartments/condos? Also maybe make a "deck/patio" for out door furnishings go go out to on the larger tiers.

You already can only have 1 per character, and tbh that's fine, I see no need to restrict it 1 to account as apartments are instanced. Not only are they instanced, but they are abundant, and I'm going to guess...easier to add more than house plots are.
I remember they mentioned this some few years ago when SB housing first came out, and I'M ON BOARD!!!! I'm still hoping they add it? It's a great idea and will take pressure off the current housing system.
If a normal Apartment costs 500k Make a Medium at least ...1million a large... 2million? I don't know or care, but PLEASE SE, PLEASE. As an added bonus, apartments definitely aren't tied to your sub so... you won't lose it if you have to suddenly leave.
I'm sure many more plots would open up too...
PLEASE SE. PLEASE.

I read somewhere that Yoshi stated that's the plan in future updates- larger apartments/ larger FC rooms or something along those lines

I, for one, cannot for the life of me decorate outsides and prefer insides, and apartments are perfect for that but they are small :c

Yes/no??

Yes, been suggested plenty of times but for some reason they're rather silent on it.

No need to worry about viewing the housing ward itself either, all the apartment buildings are on the edge of the wards, just say that the deluxe apartments with outdoor balcony areas are on the back of the apartment building :P

I draw a layout I'd like for them a while ago, giving them the same internal space as a small house but arranged a bit differently.

[Eldevern]

Sounds like a fair alternative. They could also propose a floating islands/aeronef. But we are waiting floating islands since ARR, even before housing to be released. Some people thought it was going to be some kind of Nym extension but finally it was the wards... all for a neighborood that is most of time dead empty.
