[quote=Anonymous]Many of the posters have great suggestions -- find an efficiency with a good layout/tall bookcases/bed in closet, etc.  I also would add -- don't stretch to get that one bedroom.  Take a look at the math of how much you'll need to spend to get screens/bookcases (bookcases not against a wall scare me b/c I'm worried about kids knocking them over), but I'm paranoid.  Take into account costs of moving in a year.  Assuming it still is more cost effective to get the efficiency, which it should be, I would take that efficiency and then save like crazy.  Sure, you probably could figure out a way to get that one bedroom to work, but instead of negotiating to get the rent down on the one bedroom, why not negotiate the rent down on the efficiency.  Your little guy is little, and I would bank as much money as you can.  Pretend that you have that one bedroom and put aside the extra money that you're saving into an account.  Piece of mind is far more valuable than space.  Trust me.
