BOULDER’S 2-BEDROOM FLOOR PLANS

Yes, a 2-bedroom apartment in Boulder can be very worthwhile for one person. The extra space offers numerous benefits. For instance, you can use the second bedroom as a study room, providing a quiet place to focus on homework if the CU library becomes too loud. It can also serve as a game room, hobby or craft room, or even a home office. Additionally, having more space allows you to stretch out and organize your belongings better, offering more storage options. The second bedroom can also be set up as a guest bedroom, making it easier to host family or friends when they visit.

Absolutely, sharing a 2-bedroom apartment with a roommate is a common practice. At Mountainaire, we offer individual leasing options for 2-bedroom apartments, which means each resident can have their own lease agreement. This option is really convenient if you don’t already have a roommate in mind. Alternatively, you can rent the entire 2-bedroom apartment and find a roommate on your own. Sharing the apartment can help reduce your overall living expenses and provide companionship.

At the end of the day, your perfect roommate will depend on what you’re looking for but there are some key factors to keep in mind. When you start your search, be mindful of these key components: 
  
-Define Your Preferences: Determine what qualities are important to you in a roommate, such as cleanliness, lifestyle, work or school schedule, and social habits. 
  
-Advertise: Use online platforms, social media, and local community boards to advertise your search for a roommate. Be clear about what you’re looking for. 
  
-Screen Applicants: Conduct interviews with potential roommates to discuss your living habits and expectations. Ask for references and consider doing a background check.
