2 vs. 3 vs. 4 Bedroom: Which boötes Floor Plan Fits Your Roommate Group?
Your group size decides a lot. Here's how each floor plan compares so you can pick the right one.
Choosing a floor plan near MSU starts with one question: how many people are you living with? At boötes, every option is fully furnished, every bedroom has its own full private bathroom, and every home includes an in-home washer and dryer and smart home technology. What changes between floor plans is space, layout, parking, and how the cost splits across your group.
Quick Answer: Which boötes Floor Plan Should You Choose?
Choose a 2-bedroom flat if you're living with one other person and want a smaller, simpler household. Choose a 3-bedroom flat for a group of three that wants more shared living space. Choose the 4-bedroom rowhome with a 2-car garage for a group of four that wants the most space and private garage parking. Per-bedroom pricing generally goes down as the bedroom count goes up, so larger groups typically pay less per person.
The 2-Bedroom Flat: Best for Two Roommates
The 2/2 Flat gives two roommates 1,038 square feet with a private bedroom and full private bathroom each, plus a shared kitchen and living area.
Why pick it: - Fewer people means fewer schedules to coordinate on chores, guests, and quiet hours - Easier to find one roommate you already know than to fill a larger group - A quieter household for residents who want more downtime at home
Keep in mind: The per-bedroom cost is typically the highest of the three floor plans, since shared costs split between two people instead of three or four.
The 3-Bedroom Flat: Best for a Group of Three
The 3/3 Flat offers 1,269 square feet with three private bedroom and bathroom pairs and a larger shared living and kitchen space.
Why pick it: - A middle ground between the quiet of a 2-bed and the value of a 4-bed - Per-bedroom cost is typically lower than the 2-bedroom flat - Enough people to share a social living space without feeling crowded
Keep in mind: Groups of three sometimes lose a member before signing. If that happens, ask the leasing office about roommate matching to fill the open room.
The 4-Bedroom Rowhome With 2-Car Garage: Best for a Group of Four
The 4/4 Rowhome is the largest floor plan at boötes, at 2,587 square feet (not including the garage), and it's the only option with an attached 2-car garage.
Why pick it: - The most total living space of any boötes floor plan - Typically the lowest per-bedroom cost of the three - An attached 2-car garage for vehicles, bikes, skis, and gear during Bozeman winters - A rowhome-style layout that feels more like a house than an apartment
Keep in mind: Four people means more coordination. Set shared-space expectations early, and decide as a group who uses the garage spaces.
How to Decide as a Group
Talk through these before you pick a floor plan:
- Headcount. Match the floor plan to the number of people who are committed, not the number who might join.
- Budget. Compare per-bedroom cost across floor plans with the leasing office. A larger group usually lowers what each person pays.
- Vehicles and gear. If several roommates drive or you have bikes, skis, and outdoor gear, the rowhome's attached garage adds real value.
- Living style. Decide whether your group wants a quieter home or a more social one.
- Layout variations. Each floor plan comes in more than one layout option. Tour both to see which works best for your group.
Short a Roommate? Try Roommate Matching
