1 Bedroom Apartments for Rent

1 Bedroom Floorplan Options

The advantage of a one-bedroom apartment over a studio apartment is improved privacy and a more spacious layout. That’s true for most Gainesville one-bedroom apartments too. Many local one-bedroom apartments range in size from about 540 square feet to 1,000 square feet. This size range provides you with a fairly spacious living area in addition to a dedicated bedroom space.

In many cases, the living areas and kitchens in these one-bedroom units are designed to be open concept. This open floor plan makes it easy to cook and dine while visiting with people in the living room. Larger one-bedroom units also feature a small, defined dining space near the kitchen and living areas.

In many of Gainesville’s one-bedroom apartments near UF, the bathroom is located off the bedroom space. This is extremely convenient for the apartment’s residents. On the other hand, visitors to your apartment will need to walk through your bedroom space to reach the bathroom area if you have one of these floorplans.

Several one-bedroom apartments in Gainesville offer covered patios or balconies with a small outdoor storage closet. A few even offer an attached garage space.

Occasionally, you’ll find local luxury apartment communities featuring loft-style and two-story one-bedroom apartments. These apartments tend to be larger units in the range of 900 to 1,110 square feet. Many of these larger luxury apartments offer an extra sitting or reading room in addition to the living room. This extra space is perfect for those who share their one-bedroom apartment with a housemate.

A variety of other amenities is offered occasionally in local one-bedroom units. These include features such as walk-in closets, hall closets, vanity areas that are separate from bathrooms, screened porches and defined and enclosed dining rooms. Several cheap apartment communities also offer furnished units.

There are moderately priced, large apartment communities with amenities like swimming pools, fitness centers, barbecue pits and parking. These tend to be very social communities with special resident events.

You can also find one-bedroom apartments in luxury residential communities where amenities are high-end with features such as resort-style pools, outdoor entertainment areas, beach volleyball courts, playgrounds, expansive fitness centers, clubhouses and gated entries.

Neighborhoods with One-Bedroom Apartments

As you’re searching for your new Gainesville home, it’s best to keep in mind the city’s diverse and best-located neighborhoods near UF. If you’re working or studying at the University of Florida, it may be convenient to choose a neighborhood within easy walking or cycling distance of the campus. These neighborhoods include popular Midtown, Fifth Avenue, Golfview, University Heights and Hibiscus Park. Archer Road is a favorite of many UF students since the neighborhood is adjacent to the campus’ southern edge, and there are many larger, well-appointed apartment communities.
