Troubles with buildings.

[Zealous 0]

Hey, first post here

I am having a problem with my city. Its a reasonable size. 11,000 people and its all low housing. How do i start to make the housing bigger? Like apartments that can hold 125-150 people?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to Simtropolis!

Apartments only grow on medium and high density residential, and must be watered. I'm not sure about what the population has to be for them to start growing, though.

Welcome, Zealous!

As Astronelson said, large appartments can only grow on medium and high density residential zones. Of course, they must be watered and have a power connection. As far as my experience goes, appartments often grow in vicinity of commercial areas and in places where jobs are nearby. I don't know if land value, education etc. contribute to the growth, but tell us about your experiences.
