FAQs
Scan for groceries, eateries, clinics, and childcare nearby. Check sheltered walkways and bus stops. If you exercise outdoors, look for simple parks and fitness corners. Everyday errands become easier when essential services are within a short, comfortable stroll.
Use room dividers, curtains, or tall furniture to create visual separation between sleeping, working, and living areas. Strategic lighting can create intimate spaces within the open plan. Consider a murphy bed or loft bed to maximize floor space during the day. Establish routines that give you psychological separation between work and rest time.
Yes, but you need to plan your space carefully. Dedicate a corner for a small desk (or a foldable wall-mounted desk)6}. Use a shelf or curtain to separate your “office” from your bed. Having that defined work zone helps you focus in a studio.
Landlords typically have property insurance, but this doesn't cover your personal belongings. Consider renter's insurance for your possessions and personal liability. Some policies cover temporary accommodation if the unit becomes uninhabitable. Check if your landlord requires you to have insurance and understand what's covered under their policy versus what you need to protect yourself.
Yes, but requires planning. The separate bedroom allows one person to sleep while the other works or watches TV in the living area. Consider blackout curtains and sound management. Some couples prefer open-plan studios for togetherness, while others need the bedroom separation for different sleep schedules or work-from-home arrangements.
While landlords pay maintenance fees directly, these costs often influence rental prices. Understand what facilities and services these fees cover, as higher fees might mean better maintenance and amenities. Ask about any special assessments or major repair works that might affect the building during your tenancy.
Check for window safety features, electrical outlet covers, sharp corners on built-in furniture, and secure balcony railings. Look for adequate lighting, non-slip flooring in bathrooms, and whether the layout allows parents to supervise children easily. Consider proximity to playgrounds and family amenities.
2-bedroom units typically cost 60-80% more than 1-bedroom units, but when shared between two people, can be more economical per person than individual studios. Factor in additional costs like higher utility bills with more space to cool and light. Consider whether the extra space and privacy justify the higher cost for your lifestyle and budget.
