What Apartments Look Like Around The World • Paris, France

I don't think I've ever heard of an ER doctor having time to be an actor on the side! Also that girl living in a tiny room but still committed to fitting a pole in there is a mood. Parisians really are a different breed ahah

[@inspiredby624]

I was surprised that someone managed to fit a pole (and somehow use it without injuring themselves) into a 11m² apartment but then I remembered I have a small trampoline in my 10m² student dorm lol. Tours of small apartments are always so fascinating because they clearly show what kind of hobbies and lifestyle the inhabitants prioritize whether that's exercise equipment, plant babies, creative toilet paper arrangements or the big bed that fits two to three people ;) Bigger apartments are often a bit more about following trends or trying to impress visitors.

[@MbeHappYMiam2]

​@@Christian-cb9jr yeah I agree you definitely pay extra for the city where the appartment is (and obviously it is normal!) But I've been to Patis many times and I disagree with you saying you get "extremely high quality of life" (I mean its obviously good because its in a rich europe country, but not better (honestly probably worse) than many other places with much better prices)

[@tori9810]

As someone from the US (west coast), Paris is pretty inexpensive in comparison which is surprising

[@awsme9tyone]

It might have something to do with the salaries. One of my (french) friend living in LA earns approximately 40k$ more than me a year for the same kind of job (and the exact same level of studies). So rent seems less expensive here but we get paid less so at the end of the day I guess it’s the same. I could be wrong tho.

[@kreativuntermdach7351]

Yes, payment. We are living in germany, but close to Berlin which gets more expensive every year. My husband has a salary of somewhat over 40k €, which is quite good around here. Normal wages for average people are about 20-30k (1500-2500 per month are livable wages, though not very good). That would be laughable in the US, from what i am hearing. So, it would be better to compare how much percent of a wage goes off for rent.

[@Boltercon]

@@awsme9tyone 30-40k is normal salary for US too for entry level positions

[@meality]

@@Boltercon 30-40K is not an entry level salary in Europe.

[@awsme9tyone]

@@Boltercon 40k is the approximative difference between mine and my friend’s salary. Also I’m not a junior (been working for 7 years) and I have several master degrees so yeah, our incomes are lower (mainly because of our social security as you might know but it could aslo be because University - and even our « grandes écoles » sometimes - is less expensive in France than in the US which mean that people with a high level of studies are pretty common in France so there’s no point in paying us a lot more for the compagnies).

Agree! It's easy to say that the cost is not as expensive as NYC or other parts of the US, but perhaps the salaries aren't as high in Paris. So relatively it is still expensive.

Wild to me that they have private showers but shared toilets. If you made space for one, I would have though they might as well make space for the other.

[@sarahpeart6500]

It has to do with the plumbing required. Some "chambres de bonnes" have loos but this is made possible with an electric motor that reduces the waste to a liquid that can flow through the sink/shower pipes. It's really, really loud, so somewhat embarrassing!

[@juliamelone8109]

@@sarahpeart6500 interesting…

That's because the renters are living in very old buildings that date prior to indoor plumbing. When the owners turned those large buildings into tiny apartments they sometimes got impractical results, especially if they were thinking "the more apartments, the more rent money".

What people don’t get is that if you lived in Paris you’d be on a much smaller Salary and actually find these prices quite expensive. European salaries are much less than US. There is a general salary for a type of job rather than extra for the industry, like SF tech, and big city expenses. If I paid $2,600, in Ireland I’d be on the breadline but I know my job gets paid more in the likes of SF. In Dublin, Ireland I’d be on same salary as someone working my job in the sticks i.e. no extra for Capital city living expenses.
