How Many Bedrooms Do You Truly Need?
August 24, 2016 4:51 pm
Buying a new home is a bit of a balance game. You want something that meets your most basic needs but is also comfortable to live in. Being flexible on the number of rooms in your home can help you to find something faster or more affordable than you ever dreamed. The agents at Levine Homes are here to help you find the ideal amount of bedrooms when purchasing a home.
Singles
Single buyers can usually skate by with just one room, but it’s also important to consider the potential for roommates. While you might not need anything large, having an extra office space can be nice for those who have hobbies or work from home. A house with one to three bedrooms should be large enough.
Couples
Couples should also have some flexibility. While a single-bedroom home can be nice and cozy, it is also convenient to have a space where you can get some much-needed alone time. A two- to three-bedroom home is often suitable.
Families
How many bedrooms do you need when you have a whole family to think of? It really depends on the size of your family. It is convenient to allow each child to have his or her own bedroom, or you can have them share rooms. A family of four should fit comfortably in a house with three to four bedrooms. Consider an additional room for every one to two children or if you plan on your family growing.
The Hosts
If you’re the type to host people overnight often, then it can be convenient to have enough sleeping space for your guests. Consider an extra bedroom or two dedicated solely to housing guests in addition to your personal room needs. For singles, this could mean a home with two or three rooms, but families might want a house with four or more. For further information on buying a home with ample space, contact us at 310-796-9088.
