Depends on where you live. When I looked into splitting a place here in LA, it was only $100 less than if I stayed in my studio, with less amenities. I'm lucky, as I'm rent-controlled, but even people I know that live in 4-bedroom houses in not great areas are paying only a little less.

It sounds like rent control isn't making this a fair comparison? We'd want to compare going out and renting a new studio vs 1/N of an Nbr.

I see your point. I think at market rate a couple years ago, my studio would be around $1500/mo, 1 bd at $1750, and 2 bd at ~2100. So yes, there could be several hundred saved.

The "best" deal I've found in LA is when you have a partner and can split the one-bedroom with them.
