Studio, efficiency, bedsit and bachelor style apartments all tend to be the smallest apartments with the cheapest rents in a given area. These kinds of apartment usually consist mainly of a large room which is the living, dining, and bedroom combined. There are usually kitchen facilities as part of this central room, but the bathroom is its own smaller separate room.

Studio apartments, in the context of Singapore's public housing, refers to flats that are specifically built by Housing and Development Board to cater for the growing senior citizen population, although there is growing popularity among young working singles.
Each unit in studio apartments have sufficient room for one or two persons, and have features that are specifically included to ensure the safety and convenience of the elderly that are not usually seen in other HDB flats. This includes individual alarm run by voluntary organisations to alert emergency services, hospital bed elevators, and communal areas for light sport.
