One of the first decisions renters face is whether to go with a studio or a one-bedroom. Both have real advantages depending on your lifestyle, budget, and how you use your space — so it's worth thinking through before you commit.
Studios work well for renters who spend most of their time outside the apartment. If your days are packed with work, social commitments, and neighborhood activity, a studio is a smart, cost-effective choice. The streamlined layout is easy to maintain and keeps your footprint intentional.
One-bedrooms make sense when you need a clear separation between sleeping and living. If you work from home, host guests regularly, or just want a door you can close at the end of the day, the added room pays off quickly. It's also a better fit for renters who spend significant time at home and want their space to support different kinds of activity.
At Contrast OTR, floor plans range from studios to three-bedrooms, giving you flexibility to choose based on your actual needs rather than what's available. Every unit includes modern finishes, in-unit washer and dryer, and 9-foot ceilings, so the quality of the space doesn't change based on size.
The right floor plan is the one that fits how you live, not how you think you should live. Think honestly about your routines and let that drive the decision.
