When it comes to apartments, one size does not fit all. In fact, small apartments are particularly handy for some than others.

Where is the need for a small family consisting of a couple or a bachelor or a retired widower to go for a 1,500 sq.ft. two-bedroom apartment? Practically, this may not be a suitable option for such people. With both couples working, in several households, to maintain a large apartment like Cochin apartment or an independent house is a tough, time-consuming affair.

The idea of studio apartments need not attract everyone, for it could seem to be a very small space to live in. An alternative is a one-bedroom apartment.One-bedroom apartments are also called higher-grade studio apartments, wherein you have a bedroom in addition to the common room which functions as living and dining rooms and a kitchen or a separate room for kitchen.

Studio suites and one-bedroom apartments need not be restricted to serving as residential apartments. They can double up as offices for small-business ventures, corporate guesthouses or holiday homes. They are heavily eyed as an investment opportunity. According to industry sources, some customers buy these studio apartments for personal use and thereafter, look for the opportunity to rent these out once they move out to another apartment or city.
