Illustration comparing a room, a 1 BHK and a 2 BHK flat, for a guide to choosing what to rent in Patna

BHK means bedroom, hall and kitchen: a 2 BHK has two bedrooms, a hall (living room) and a kitchen. In Patna you will also see single rooms, 2-room sets and shared rooms. Here is how to choose.

Shared room

You rent one bed in a room shared by two to six people, usually with shared bathrooms. The cheapest option, best for students and interns who are out all day. See rooms for students in Patna.

Single room or 2-room set

A single room is yours alone, often with an attached or shared bathroom and space to cook. A 2-room set is two rooms let together, a step up for a couple or two friends, usually without a separate hall.

1 BHK flat

One bedroom, a hall and a kitchen, with its own bathroom and front door. Good for a working professional, a couple, or a parent who comes to stay now and then.

2 BHK flat

The most common family home in Patna. Two bedrooms for a couple with a child, or two or three colleagues who split the rent. The second room is also a study or guest room.

3 and 4 BHK flats

For larger or joint families, or anyone who works from home and needs a separate office. These are more common in the newer apartment buildings along Bailey Road, Saguna More and Danapur.
