To live alone or to not live alone, that is the question. The idea of living alone sounds so peaceful. You don’t have to ask anyone if they would turn the TV down when you are reading in your room. You don’t have to check to see if the bathroom is free when you decide you want to shower. You also don’t have to double check if it’s okay to have friends over on a “school” night.

Unless you are made of money, the idea of living alone starts to lose its luster when you begin to see how much it will cost you. One of the biggest benefits to having a roommate is the ability to split all the bills. You may have to share your common space with them, but in a 2 bed apartment you can still have control over your own room. Sharing bills is one thing, but sharing a bedroom is something you probably don’t want to do if you can afford it.

That’s where Hignell Rentals comes in! We have quite a few 2 bed apartments that you can choose from. Here are just two of our complexes, Amanda Place and 1661 Forest Ave!
