Not in chicago. Very common to have a bedroom that is almost right in the middle of the condo. door to the rest of the condo but not outside. Maybe they get away on some technicality bit its a common thing I have seen. It allows them to do these thin long condos in the high rises
That may be classified as a bachelor's unit with a "den", at least that's how it would be in Canada. A bedroom is only legally a bedroom once it has a window per the Ontario build code at least.
Though this is the issue, raising a family with two or more kids in a condo may not be something everyone would like to do. It's all personal preference in the end.
The trouble is the choice in the market is limited in types of homes, the desire may be there to find something other then a large condo tower, or a single family home, but developers cant build them because of the code.
So people can only choose to find a larger more expensive condo tower with a 3~4 full debrooms layout (which is hard), or move into a single family home in the suburbs a few hours out of the city center (which increases the commute).
yeah. they advertise it as a bedroom but I would not be surprised if the paperwork did something like you say. Many of the traditional things have been being slanted for decades. what is called a studio nowadays would be called an efficiency when I was young.
