1 Bedroom vs. 2 Bedroom: How to Choose the Right Apartment

Picking between a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom apartment comes down to three things: how much space you need, how you'll use it, and what fits your monthly budget. Here's a simple way to think it through.

What you get at Eagle Trace

• 1 Bedroom: about 600 sq ft, 1 bathroom, $700/month
• 2 Bedroom: 900–1,000 sq ft, $800/month

That's roughly 300–400 extra square feet for about $100 more per month.

A one-bedroom might be right if…

• You live alone or with a partner and don't need a spare room.
• You want the lowest possible rent and less space to clean and furnish.
• You're mostly out during the day and want a simple, comfortable home base.

A two-bedroom might be right if…

• You work from home and want a real office with a door you can close.
• You're sharing with a roommate. Splitting an $800 two-bedroom can cost each person far less than renting a one-bedroom alone.
• You have regular overnight guests, hobbies that need room, or simply a lot of stuff.

Questions to ask yourself

1. Where will I work, exercise, or do hobbies?
2. Will anyone else be living with me in the next 12 months?
3. What's my comfortable monthly housing budget, including utilities?
4. Do I need storage space for seasonal items, a bike, or equipment?
