Perth residents prefer large homes over apartment living

Perth residents are hesitant to embrace apartment living, preferring larger homes. This reluctance stems from a lack of tradition and experience with apartments, which many view as inferior to single-family homes. Developers are now focusing on creating upscale apartments that offer more space and amenities, aiming to change perceptions. Events like Perth Design Week will discuss these shifts and the importance of good design in attracting buyers. Despite the demand for high-end apartments, challenges remain, including high construction costs and concerns over quality. Developers suggest government partnerships could help create more affordable housing options.
