- kevindong 7y agoI live in a 490 sq. ft. NYC studio and it's honestly great for just myself. That being said, once apartments get that small, a great floor plan is essential to having a functional, yet spacious small apartment. I have a walk in closet, two regular closets, a laundry closet (with stacked, in-unit washer and dryer), a standard bathroom, a full kitchen, a sectional couch, a media console, and a queen sized bed. I've never felt cramped in my apartment. I've seen studio apartment listings with more space (in the ~500~600 sq. ft. range), but the floor plan is such that I wouldn't be able to fit what I currently have in there despite the additional ~0~100 sq. ft. of space due to a non-rectangular floor plan (trying to fit any piece of furniture in a non 90-degree corner will never go well).
