Who studios work best for in Denver
Studios make sense if: you're single, you work long hours and barely use your apartment, you're saving aggressively, or you specifically want the walkability of central Denver and willing to trade square footage for it.
Studios don't work well if: you cook a lot (kitchens are usually small), you work from home (the lack of a separate workspace gets old fast), or you have a partner moving in.
Common studio amenities to ask about
Murphy beds (some studios have built-in wall beds), in-unit washer/dryer (huge quality-of-life upgrade), Juliet balconies, kitchen island, and storage closet. Confirm which are included in the listed rent vs upgrade fees.
