Living in a One Bedroom Apartment

A housing option for many people living on their own or as part of a couple without children is to rent or buy a 1 bedroom apartment. Every city in the United States of America has many 1 bedroom apartments available. Sizes and prices very depending on how desirable the locations are considered. The term 1 bedroom apartment is also open to interpretation. Sometimes the apartment may feature a room other than the main bedroom, but it may not be large enough to be considered a second bedroom, so it is considered a den. Most bedrooms have closets and windows. Some even have an adjoining bathroom, making them a master suite.

1 bedroom apartments can be leased or bought. Some buildings have committees who decide whether or not a new tenant can buy an apartment. Other apartments are available for leasing of a year or sub-leasing for an agreed on amount of time between the tenant, landlord and third party renting the apartment. Depending on the owners of the building, the tenant renting a 1 bedroom apartment may be entitled and have access to a number of amenities. Sometimes, cable TV, phone lines and Internet connections are included in the rent.

Laundry facilities may be included in the unit or there may be a laundry room where tenants can wash and dry clothes using coins. The heating and electricity may or may not be included in the rent. Some 1 bedroom apartments have central air conditioning, but most do not. To solve this problem, some tenants may install window air conditioners in a window to keep their unit cool.

Rent for a 1 bedroom apartment may go up every year if the building is not rent controlled. Also, if the building has a doorman, elevator, security guard, pool, fitness room, rooftop terrace, garden and/or restaurant, this could add to the overall cost to rent the apartment with an assessment fee. Many people renting a 1 bedroom apartment may not have access to personal transportation.

Tenants may want to find buildings that are near public transportation bus lines or train lines. There may also be storage available in the building to keep a bike and in some cases, for an extra fee, a tenant can rent a parking space to keep their car in.
