FAQs
What is the Layout of a Studio Apartment?
A studio apartment combines your living room, bedroom and kitchen into one open space to create a one-room apartment. While the open-concept design of a studio apartment does not include walls or partitions to section off different rooms, the floor plan includes space for a bed and living area, as well as separate closet and bathroom space. Check out our blog on how to divide a studio apartment into multiple rooms for some helpful advice. If you choose to live in an apartment community or rental property, your studio apartment may include smart home features, an outdoor patio or balcony, and access to the community’s pool and fitness center.
Are Studio Apartments Cheaper?
For renters looking to enjoy their own space with a lower-than-average monthly cost, studio apartments are an ideal choice. Studio apartments are often less expensive than one-bedroom apartments because they have less total square footage, and smaller square footage typically equates to lower utility bills, which can also help you save on your monthly costs.
What Does a Studio Apartment Look Like?
A studio is an apartment that encompasses all areas of your home in one single, open space. While there is typically limited space, some studio apartments have an alcove or “L-shaped” area that can be sectioned off with a privacy screen or curtains and used as a bedroom or dining space.
