Are you planning to rent an apartment on your own? You may be confused on whether you want to live in a one bedroom apartment or in a studio apartment. These days both types of apartments are very popular for single occupants and each one has its own pros.
Here is how to decide whether a one-bedroom apartment is better for you or a studio apartment is the best option.
Reason why you should rent a one bedroom apartment
One-bedroom apartments catch the attention of tenants who wish to have more space and multiple rooms in their apartment. You will have more room to entertain your guest in a one bedroom apartment. The extra space means that your bed and other personal belongings will not be getting in the way (and potentially disappointing you from welcoming friends over). Also, having a living room means you can have a pull-out couch so visiting family members will have a place to stay when they are in town.
Reason why you should rent a studio apartment
Individuals who rent a studio apartment enjoy paying less rent each month, which converts to significant savings year after year.
The simple floor plan of a studio makes it reasonably easy to beautify. Studios are ideal for tenants who don’t have many possessions that they need to display or keep handy in their apartment.
When everything you own is placed in the same room, it is much easier to keep track of and find what you need. Staying in studio apartment forces you to prioritize what you really need and love so you eliminate the rest.
You should decide if you need the upgrade
Thinking between renting a one-bedroom apartment or a studio apartment boils down to thinking of a one-bedroom apartment as an upgrade (since it costs more) and deciding whether the upgrade is worth to you.
As you read in the article above, one-bedroom apartments offer certain advantages in return for the higher rent, but these advantages are not helpful to every occupant.
Also, some occupants who have enough money for a one-bedroom apartment choose they would have a preference, or at least would not mind, living in a studio apartment. If this is your condition, look for a studio that offers excellent views of your city or a nearby park or lake, or in a building that offers more facilities.
