Renting a 2 Bedroom Apartment Gives Singles Flexibility

If you’re a single person, you may not have considered the benefits of renting a two bedroom apartment, though doing so has many benefits. Not only will you have more space, a two bedroom offers flexibility that a one bedroom or studio can’t provide.

Cost Comparison

In Kamloops, a two bedroom apartment usually costs several hundred dollars more per month than a one bedroom. According to Canada rental market data, BC studios and one bedrooms cost more per square foot than two bedroom apartments, so if you can spend more on a larger space, you’ll pay less per square foot.

For example, at Summit Village Residences, there is approximately a $300 price difference between one and two bedroom apartments. If you’re able to comfortably stretch your budget a bit further, you get a lot much space for your dollar.

Prices at Summit Village Residences:
2 bedroom: $2,050
1 bedroom: $1,750

Benefits of a 2 Bedroom Apartment for One Person

The main advantages of one person renting a two bedroom apartment are the choices and versatility that an extra bedroom and space provides. Below, we look at the most popular uses for a spare bedroom.

Home Office

If you work from home, turning the second bedroom into a dedicated home office will give you a distraction-free workspace. A home office increases productivity, provides privacy and reduces work-related clutter in the rest of your apartment.

Home Gym

If you prefer to work out at home, rather than at a gym or in our fitness facility, why not create your own home gym or fitness space? You’ll save money on gym membership fees and save time commuting to a fitness centre. With a home gym, you might workout more consistently and are more likely to achieve your fitness goals.

Entertainment or Hobby Room

If you love movies, listening to music or playing a musical instrument, you can transform the second bedroom into an entertainment room. Add comfortable seating and give yourself a place to unwind, or host friends for game night or move night.

If you’re a hobbyist, use the room for your creative endeavours. Gone will be the days of cluttering your kitchen or living room and having to set up and put everything away each time do your hobby.

Guest Bedroom

If you occasionally have guests from out of town or like to host friends and family during holidays, a two bedroom apartment can make the experience more enjoyable for both you and your guests. Instead of guests sleeping on a cramped sofa or air mattress in the middle of your living room, they can retire to the privacy and comfort of the guest room.

Flex Space

With a little planning and carefully selected furnishings, you can use the extra bedroom for more than one purpose: home office, hobby room, fitness room, music practice room, games room, guest room. As your priorities change, so too can the purpose of the room!
