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

September 18, 2020

Whether you’re finding a place fresh out of college, are an empty nester downsizing from a single-family home, or at a space in between, you have to make a decision. Do you get a one-bedroom or a two-bedroom apartment in Fishers? How you decide what’s right for you depends on a few things.
 

What Can You Afford?

Many renters may want to have a spare bedroom, but can you take on the extra cost when compared to a one-bedroom apartment in Fishers? The extra 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 all about monthly rent, either, as you might have higher utility costs with the second room. 

Where Will You Store Your Stuff?

While you’re deciding between a one-bedroom apartment or a two-bedroom apartment, you should plan for everything coming with you. If you’re coming with multiple large furniture pieces, you may want the extra space. If anything, a separate room may be just the spot for Grandma’s china cabinet or those collectibles you’d like to show off. Without the second bedroom, it’s more difficult to decide what’s important, and you’ll need to find which items to give to a friend, sell, or throw in the trash.

A Spare Bedroom May Mean Visitors

If you have visiting friends or family, they may be more comfortable sleeping in a bedroom rather than on your pull-out couch. Out-of-town guests who stay the night can enjoy a cozy place they can relax in with the guest bedroom. (Then again, a one-bedroom might persuade out-of-town relatives to get a room at a hotel). If anything, you can use the second bedroom for your dog.

Larger Space For Entertaining

Getting back to your friends: Is entertaining important to you? It may be harder to comfortably fit lots of people in a one-bedroom apartment in Fishers than in a bigger unit. You could also convert the second bedroom into an enviable game room. 

Turn The Extra Bedroom Into A Home Office

When deciding on a one-bedroom apartment or a two-bedroom apartment in Fishers, the biggest factor may be having a space to work. Home offices are getting more and more important, and it’s nice when you don’t have to spread out your laptop and accessories so they cover the living room coffee table. You can have a small fold-away couch or futon for visitors and use the extra bedroom for an office. When the workday is over, just close the door and leave your work things out and you’re ready for tomorrow.
