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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

One-bedrooms make sense when you need a clear separation between sleeping and living.

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.<\/p>\n
