Abstract

Housing is an essential part of human life, as it provides us with shelter, safety, and a place of belonging. Even though most Americans see the ideal form of housing as a single-family home, multifamily housing is becoming more prevalent and desirable as a place to call home. Through this thesis, I combat the misconceptions about multifamily housing with facts about the industry, and I attempt to give a clearer picture of what multifamily housing is by comparing its features and benefits to those of single-family housing. With a look into the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, and its housing market, I am able to give specific examples of what multifamily housing has to offer.
