Studio apartment

Otherwise, washrooms and bathing facilities are often part of a common area accessible by the residents of multiple units, with various arrangements to ensure privacy.

Some studio apartments also offer extra storage space which may or may not be attached to the main unit.

Studio apartments have historically been offered mainly for rent, however in recent years the units have been increasingly sold as condominiums in response to rising housing costs making larger dwellings unaffordable to many would-be home buyers.

A studio apartment typically consists of one large room that serves as the combined living, dining, and bedroom.

The apartment's kitchen facilities may be located either in the central room or in a small separate area.
