super railroad - does it get on your nerves?
You've seen them before, the super long super narrow railroad apartments.
If you lived in one, did it get on your nerves or was it no issue?
The one I'm looking at is [living][dining][kitchen][bath][bed2][bed1][nook]
literally like that, with a corridor that runs alongside [bath][bed2] and two front doors.
It is the kind of place that is put in, two to a floor, in a 25 foot wide 80 foot deep 4 floor bldg
with center common stairs.
maximum width is 13.5 feet (at both ends). 80 foot long, maybe 900 sq ft before interior walls walls.
I'm trying to compare it to an open plan condo at the same price, that lacks any charm, and wondering if super-longs make you yearn for modern with two walls of windows!

are you looking to buy it or rent it?

we live in a place very similar to what you are describing and love it. the set-up does mean that you lose some living space which gets taken up by the hallway, but for us the creation of a private section of the apartment (the bedrooms) and a public section (living/dining/kitchen) is worth it.
