What to Consider when Looking for a 2 Bedroom Apartment

It’s important to keep your living situation in mind when searching for your 2 bedroom abode—especially if another person will also call it home. Whether you’re moving in with your BFF or plan on searching for a roommate online, you’ll want to find an apartment with “roommate-friendly features” and a layout that gives everyone privacy and space.

Make a list of apartment features or floorplan types that deliver what two people need to be happy. For example, if you know you’re not comfortable sharing a bathroom with someone else—put 2 bathrooms at the top of your must-have list. Are you an especially light sleeper or have a work schedule with late-night shifts? Try finding a floorplan without shared walls between bedrooms.

Two people living together also means suddenly having two of everything: furniture, kitchen appliances, linens, etc. Talk through who’s stuff stays and who’s goes together—after all, no one wants to feel like they’re living in someone else’s home. Living with someone else, even if it’s your better half, is all about compromise. And the more you’re able to talk things through as a team, the happier your home will be.
