Square footage tells you less than layout does. A 546 square foot studio and a 606 square foot one bedroom are close on paper, but they live differently once a wall goes up between the bed and the sofa. The Met offers studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom floorplans in North Austin ranging from 546 to 1,377 square feet, and this guide compares them using the actual plans instead of general rules of thumb.

Studio Apartments in Austin, TX: What 546 Square Feet Gets You

How the S1 Layout Works 

The S1 is the only studio plan at The Met: 546 square feet with one full bathroom. The kitchen, living area, and sleeping area share one open room, and the bathroom is closed off. Because there is no bedroom wall, the same square footage reads larger than it would in a partitioned plan, and the windows light the entire home rather than one room of it.

In-Unit Features That Make a Studio Live Larger

Every home at The Met includes a full size washer and dryer, which matters more in a studio than anywhere else, since there is no closet to surrender to a stacked unit. The urban mudroom entry adds storage at the door. Quartz countertops, GE stainless steel appliances, and vinyl plank flooring run throughout, and there are ceiling fans in the living room and bedroom. Studio photos are in the Your Home section of the gallery.

One Bedroom Apartments for Rent in Austin, TX

The Range from 552 to 1,165 Square Feet 

The one bedroom plans cover more ground than most renters expect. The A1 runs 552 to 606 square feet and the A9 extends to 1,165 square feet, with the rest filling in between: A2 at 644, A3 at 722, A4 at 778 to 789, A6 at 827, A5 at 839, A7 at 855, and A8 at 892 square feet. Every one bedroom has one full bathroom, so the variable here is living space, not plumbing. 

What the Bedroom Wall Changes 

The wall is the whole difference. A separate bedroom with a door changes what the living area can hold and where furniture can go. At the larger end, the A8 and A9 plans have enough room in the main living space for a dining table and a seating area at the same time. Select homes add oversized garden tubs, full glass enclosure showers, and oversized turfed yards. 

Two Bedroom Apartments for Rent in Austin, TX

Two Full Bathrooms and 1,020 to 1,377 Square Feet 

Every two bedroom plan at The Met pairs two bedrooms with two full bathrooms. The B1 is 1,020 square feet, the B2A is 1,107, the B3 is 1,129, the B2 ranges from 1,102 to 1,356, and the B4 is the largest plan in the community at 1,377 square feet. The second full bathroom, not just the extra room, is the practical break from the one bedroom plans.

Comparing Two Bedroom Plans Before You Tour 

Use the map view on the floorplans page to find where each plan sits in the building, since exposure and outlook vary by location. Furnished homes are available through CORT in select residences. If you would rather compare interiors before you drive over, the virtual tours cover them plan by plan.
