I installed a “sleeping loft” in our 375SF studio apartment to make a bit more room for my wife and son. 11ft ceilings make a big difference there.
I’ve also been looking into getting a 1bd and installing false walls to make it a 2 bedroom.

We're a young family (1.5 Y/o) so probably won't last too long, although I do like the idea of seeing how creative we can get with the space especially if we have another kid.
We spend 95% of our time within 2 miles of our apartment yet never feel like we are at a loss for interesting things to do/see, though we are pretty easily satisfied (e.g. sitting in parks watching boats sail is an A+ activity).
The above is mainly due to: 1) Weather 2) Density of the city 3) Size of the city's footprint (~49 sq/mi) 4) Diversity (lends itself to the "interesting" part) 5) City's prioritization to public spaces (parks, stairs, are plentiful) 6) Topography also adds to some interest to our primary mode of transit
