23 Apr Going Small: The Many Benefits of Renting a Studio Apartment
If you’re looking for a place to live, you may want to consider the benefits of renting a studio apartment. McGill Ridge has studio apartments for rent in a convenient Kamloops location that’s close to neighbourhood amenities, TRU and the rest of Kamloops. Studios offer many benefits for singles, first-time renters, students, older adults and people who travel frequently for work or recreation.
Living in a studio apartment isn’t for everyone, although it’s a great choice for many. Whether you want to save money on rental costs, or just don’t need that much space, a studio apartment may be the perfect choice.
Benefits of a Studio Apartment
There are many benefits to renting a studio apartment:
Lower rental cost
Smaller also means less costly. If you can afford a 1 bedroom or 1 bedroom with study and instead choose to rent a studio, you can save several hundred dollars each month. You can bank the savings or have more expendable income for entertainment, restaurants or travel.
Easier to furnish
Living in a studio apartment means that by necessity, you’ll have to live with less furniture and fewer furnishings. With a studio, you can have just a few main pieces like a sofa and a couple of occasional chairs, a small kitchen table and kitchen chairs. You can save space and be creative by using multi-functional furnishings, such as a sofa that folds into a bed, storage ottomans, storage coffee table, or tall shelving with a fold-down desktop.
Easier to clean
It goes without saying that it’s easier to clean a smaller space. It will take far less time to clean your studio apartment compared to a 1 or 2 bedroom.
Encourages and supports a minimal Lifestyle
In a minimalist lifestyle, you intentionally live with fewer possessions, simplifying your life and the clutter in it. A studio apartment rental encourages minimalism because the smaller space can’t accommodate many belongings or have many furnishings. By living in a studio, you can focus on what’s really important to your chosen lifestyle – having only “what you need” instead of “what you want”.
Accommodates singles, first-time renters, students, older adults and travellers
If you are single, a student, first-time renter, an older adult or traveller, you may want to live in a smaller space so you can save money. Students attending TRU from another part of BC, or from another country, often have to live on a tight budget. First-time renters may also need to save money or don’t have enough income to rent a larger apartment. Older adults may be on a small or fixed income, and if you travel a lot for work or pleasure, you may not want much space.
