Should I Lease A One-Bedroom Or Two-Bedroom Apartment In Greenwood?

September 18, 2020

Whether you’re finding a place fresh out of college, are an empty nester downsizing from a single-family home, or anything in between, you have to make a choice. Do you rent a one-bedroom or a two-bedroom apartment in Greenwood? How you choose what’s best for you depends on these factors.
 

What’s Your Price Point?

You can find a use for a second bedroom, but can you bear the extra rent when compared to a one-bedroom apartment in Greenwood? The additional space might be useful, but if you are just going to use it for storage, you might want a detached garage instead.

The additional cost isn’t just in rent. You also may pay more in utility bills due to the extra room. 

What About All Your Stuff?

As you’re deciding between a one-bedroom apartment or a two-bedroom apartment, don’t forget about all your things. If you have a lot of furniture pieces, the extra space may sound great. If anything, a spare room may be just the space for Grandma’s china cabinet or your sports memorabilia you’re looking to show off. Without the second bedroom, it’s more difficult to decide what’s essential, and you’ll need to choose which things to donate, sell, or throw in the trash.

A Spare Bedroom Makes It Easy To Have Company

If you have an occasional overnight guest, they may be more comfortable sleeping in a bedroom instead of on your pull-out couch. Out-of-town guests who stay the night have a private space they can stretch out with the spare bedroom. (Of course, a one-bedroom might convince out-of-town visitors to stay at a hotel). If anything, you can reserve the extra bedroom for your pet.

Larger Space For Entertaining

Getting back to your friends: Do you like to entertain? It can be trickier to comfortably accommodate larger groups in a one-bedroom apartment in Greenwood than in a bigger unit. You may even be able to convert the second bedroom into a fun game room. 

Change The Extra Bedroom Into A Home Office

When deciding on a one-bedroom apartment or a two-bedroom apartment in Greenwood, the biggest factor may be finding a space to work. Home offices are getting to be very popular, and it’s helpful when you don’t need to have your computer and paper so they’re covering the dining table. You can have a small futon or couch for guests and use the spare bedroom for a home office. When the work is finished, just shut the door with your stuff on your desk and you’re all set for the next workday.
