With the “working from home” trend increasing, the 1 bedroom plus den layout is becoming a popular apartment style. It turns out that many are finding the extra space that a den provides to be extremely valuable.

The main difference between a 1 bedroom plus den and a two-bedroom is that the den usually does not have a window, closet, or door. Think of the den as more of a bonus space within a one-bedroom apartment. These units guarantee more space than a studio, convertible, junior one-bedroom, or one-bedroom apartment.

Dens can provide that extra space you may need for a small office, sitting area, or music room. This additional room is an excellent option if you are looking for a bit of extra square footage in your home but don’t need an entire spare bedroom.

If you’re in the market for a 1 bedroom plus den for rent in Chicago, take a look at these luxury apartment buildings that offer this type of unit:
