That already exists. It's called a college dorm.
That's really what these newfangled amenity-filled apartments are. They're dorm life for the post-college set. One which is opening soon here in Pittsburgh not only comes fully furnished, but has maid/linen service, and even refills your shampoo/conditioner dispensers for you.
I find it kind of ridiculous that people want to live like this at age 22. Most people who are done with college/graduate school have had several years of living in slummy off-campus housing with roommates by that time, so dorm life isn't all they know. But then again, these developments aren't catered at the average educated young professional - rather someone higher on the income scale.
