The bathroom is usually the only room that\u2019s separated by a wall and a door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These one-room units can make a small space feel bigger. They\u2019re a cost-effective way to live on your own. Bachelor suites are limited on privacy and square footage, so they\u2019re best for just one person (hence the name).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Studio<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Studio apartments are quite similar to bachelor units, but with one main difference. Most studio apartments are slightly larger than bachelor apartments. They may feature a separate dining area or kitchen. If you\u2019re looking for something with a bit more space, consider a studio unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Penthouse<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u2019t beat the view of a penthouse apartment. These units are typically located on the top floor of a building, so you get breathtaking views of the city skyline. Penthouse apartments tend to feel luxurious; they often feature high ceilings and are usually quite large.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of their size and prestige factor, penthouses can be pricey, but if you can afford one, you\u2019ll love the feeling of spaciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2 &amp; 3 Bedroom<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you plan to live with a roommate? Perhaps you need an extra room for a home office. If so, you might be looking for apartments with a spare bedroom or two.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The specific features of multi-bedroom apartments vary. Some are spacious with high ceilings; others are more compact but with plenty of amenities (like in-suite laundry, a dishwasher, a bathtub).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 &amp; 3 bedroom units are some of the most popular apartment types, so you\u2019ll find plenty of options on your search.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1 Bedroom (+ Den)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some tenants prefer the open concept of a bachelor apartment. But if you prefer to sleep in an enclosed room, a 1 bedroom apartment may be best.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a 1 bedroom apartment, the sleeping area is separated by a few walls and a door. This creates a private, quiet area to rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for a little extra space? A den is an extra area of the apartment, but one that\u2019s too small to be considered a bedroom. Dens <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurychicagoapartments.com\/what-is-a-one-bedroom-den-apartment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">usually don\u2019t have closets or windows<\/a>, but there are exceptions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These rooms are usually for seating or entertainment. You can use your den as a living room when you\u2019re having guests over.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which type of apartment is right for you? If you\u2019re a student, you\u2019re probably looking for the most cost-effective option; a bachelor or studio unit will be perfect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you\u2019ve lived on your own for a while, you might have a bit of furniture. Maybe you\u2019re moving in with a roommate, and you need an extra bedroom. For more space, you can choose a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/globepm.ca\/winnipeg-apartments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Apartment rentals in Winnipeg<\/a>, we\u2019re happy to help you find your new home.
