Is this actually how Europeans live? Or are these the more touristy areas of the city center and do most regular middle class Europeans live in more modern housing outside the city?
And if they do live in these and are regular middle class, how much space actually is it? Entire individual houses for families or are they all divided up into tiny little spaces inside for tons of money like it would be here? Would a family with kids ever live in housing like the picture?

>do most regular middle class Europeans live in more modern housing outside the city?
Yes.
>Entire individual houses for families
In Croatia at least detached houses are very common and I'd say most families live in detached houses.
>are they all divided up into tiny little spaces inside for tons of money like it would be here?
Apartment buildings are very common, especially in larger cities. Apartment/flats are generally 500 - 1200 square feet in size. They're quite expensive in large cities.
>Would a family with kids ever live in housing like the picture?
Only if they're quite wealthy or inherited it.
Here, all the inner city appartments are rented out to tourists or owned by richfags.
Most people live in commieflats or regular houses (pic) outside the center.
It's good though, who the fuck wants to listen to drunk anglos throwing bottles and singing footbal songs at 3am...
Most people live there

How the fuck would a single family take up an entire building of those in your photo? Usually it's like one to several apartments per floor or something depending on how large the building is to begin with. There's usually a mix of available apartment sizes, ranging anywhere from studio apartments to four bedroom apartments suitable for families (although families will preferably live further out for cheaper rent and a wider availability of large apartments). The floor space is adequate by European standards. Don't know what in the world Americans end up doing with their excessive floor space anyway. Prices depend on the city, but generally the rent divide between city and elsewhere isn't quite as large as in the US, and neither is the divide in wages. I mean, there are expensive cities here like Munich where you'll be paying 1000 bucks and upwards rent for a studio apartment near the center, but it's not quite on the same level as NYC or SF memes where a broom closet costs 3000 bucks a month.
No, fuck Germans for that
Those apartments are usually extremely expensive (by the square meter), extremely central and very tiny. They also have poor insulation and no elevators. Not family friendly at all, mostly singles and childless couples live there.

*br*ts
In Utrecht only 5%! of its residents live in the city centre.
How's Lasnamäe?
Kinda like ghetto Russian hood. Overall livable, but a bit depressing.
>Is this actually how Europeans live?
Yes
>Or are these the more touristy areas of the city center and do most regular middle class Europeans live in more modern housing outside the city?
No, not really. Exception, when you're living in a trendy district.
>And if they do live in these and are regular middle class, how much space actually is it?
Around 60-90m^2
>Would a family with kids ever live in housing like the picture?
Yes.

nowadays most of apartments in old towns are rented on airBnB for tourists, that's why some cities banned or limited it
here a regular middle class suburb outside the city looks like this:
old houses (communist era):

Yes, some do. My best friend's cousins bought a 2 bedroom apartment in Norwich city center in England. It's really cozy and old. You have to duck your head with the doors because it was built in the 1600s when people were really short.
Yes, Utrecht is like a shittier version of Amsterdam. Leiden, Delft, The Hague and even Haarlem are much better to live in.
all Dutch cities look the same desu
