Each person has his own ideas about a comfortable life. For some, a five-room apartment with high ceilings in the city center is comfortable, while others find comfort in 50 m2 in the outskirts of the city.

All this is clear, but have you thought about how much it costs today to repair and maintain a large apartment or to repair or replace broken sewers in an old building?

In this blog we will talk about the following important issues:

• How do developers offer apartments to people of different tastes;
• How many square meters are needed for one person;
• How to choose the size of the living space for a particular family.

Developer offers: dimensions and layout

If you have to buy an apartment in an under-construction building for the first time, then it will be a bit difficult for you to choose the ideal apartment of the right area. A rented or parents' house gives you very little idea of ​​how much square meters you personally need, because in both of the above cases you have to make some compromises.

When buying an apartment in a building under construction, everything becomes individual. As in many other situations, before making a decision, you should take into account already existing opinions, which are based on certain data. For example, a single person has 30 m2. A 45-50 m2 apartment is also shared with a couple without children. Large families where a couple has 2-3 children will need a 2-3 room apartment.

When making a choice, the main thing is to always be guided by cold calculations and not choose options that are too far from you.

For example, if you are young and intend to live alone, then you do not need a 3-room apartment. If you buy a one-room apartment, you will save money on repairs and utilities in the future.

When choosing an apartment, you should also consider the amount of time you spend at home. Buying an apartment of 65 m2 is not very appropriate for a person who comes home just to spend the night. An apartment of similar area is relevant for people who work at home and raise 1-2 children.

How many square meters is needed for one person?

Statistically, a total area of ​​at least 13.56 m2 should be allocated for 1 family member. Also, if the family has 2 children of different sexes, then they have a separate room. must have. The area of ​​the latter should be about 15 m2. At the same time, same-sex children can use a common room, only its size should be at least 20 m2.
When choosing housing, you can easily be guided by these indicators.

Concrete figures: the optimal apartment size for your family

A family of 4 people with 2 children of the same sex needs a 3-room apartment of at least 85 m2.

Where do these numbers come from?

• 20 m2 should be allocated to the parents' room, in which there should be a double bed, pumps, a closet and, if necessary, a desk;
• 20-30 m2 children will need a room of almost the same size, because two single beds, study and play space should be placed in this room;
• In the case of children of different genders, another 10-15 m2 will be needed. Indeed, in this case, each child should have his own room, the area of ​​which is about 15 m2;
• 5-7 m2 will be dedicated to the bathroom and toilet, when there are many people in the family, it will be good if they are separated from each other;
• The kitchen will need at least 8-10 m2. And if the kitchen area is combined with the living room, then about 25-30 m2.

For young families and those who live alone

For young families and those who live alone, work constantly and spend little time at home, 30-45 m2 of living space will be enough. This space is enough for you to feel comfortable and not feel the lack of space.

Apartments of this size are also very comfortable to rent, as the demand for them is always high in all areas.
