Studio apartments are best for solo renters who don't need a separate bedroom and want the simplest, most budget-efficient setup for a given neighborhood.
1-bedroom apartments are ideal if you want true separation between sleep and daily life — great for couples, light work-from-home, or anyone who values privacy.
2-bedroom apartments are the go-to for roommates or anyone who wants a dedicated office/guest room without jumping to a much larger home.
3-bedroom apartments are typically for families or established roommate groups who want long-term stability and more functional space.
Verified apartments have confirmed availability and you can apply to these apartments directly on openigloo. Use this as your "high-confidence" starting set before you narrow further by budget, bedrooms, or neighborhood.
