Walk-in shower vs. tubs

[Jonathan Jordan]

Hello,

My real estate partner and I are looking into re-doing a 4-plex, and was wondering what this sites opinion is on walk-in showers vs. tubs, especially as these 4-plexes are only one bathroom. The one reason I can think of to have tubs is if there are a lot of families wanting to rent with young children, but wondering if anyone had experience/advice on this issue. Thank you!!

I would say that tubs will appeal to a higher demographic and will increase your potential pool of renters.

Most walk-ins have swinging or sliding doors which can be an extra expense to install and maintain if broken. Going with a tub and shower curtain would keep the ongoing costs down in my opinion.
