Looking for a poor person's apartment

[Looking for a poor person's apartment] I live in one. I'm looking for something basic, rectangular or square with just a kitchen, livingroom, two bedrooms, and a small bathroom with a tub and shower. Where I live, there is a wall that's open on both sides that leads into the kitchen. There is a hallway where there are two bedrooms to the left, and a bathroom at the end. There are windows only on the south wall, one in the livingroom, one in the first bedroom, and one on the south wall and on on the east wall of the other bedroom. It doesn't have to be ecxact, but all I find are set up with walls that protrude outside, or have only one bedroom, if any. Is there anything remotly similar out there?

Such a layout, with 2 bedrooms...not easy, but this one used to be my favorate. More or less similar but plus a dining room https://www.daz3d.com/european-style-apartment
You may replenish what there're short of and decorate as you wish for sure.
And there're inner walls as well, so you even can re-organize the layout. Everything is possible with kitbashing.
This is a small bachelor type apartment. very compact.

If you have some stuff already. Why not kit base it into what you want. its not overly hard and can be very satisfying, also unique.
Building on that idea by otherworld, you could take an existing apartment, and just add a vertical plane as a wall to make it smaller and then move the furniture around to make it livable.
I lived in a poor man's apartment, and it is called a basement. With no windows, your landlord calls you, the cellar dweller from Downunder. You live like a Morlock. You only come out at night because you work at a burger joint graveyard shift. Then he takes half your pay for the rent, which leads to never getting an apartment, even with the roaches, like Joe's Apartment.
A very good suggestion, Timbales; I was just about to recommend this pack too.
I endorse all of the previous suggestions and have one myself from maclean, https://www.daz3d.com/home-one-apartment that may be more than you want, but depending on where your character is, like Detroit MI, it might be considered a poor person's rental home. Just saw a show where a renovated 4 bedroom, 3 bath house went for under $200,000.00. Which was a shock to me.
Basic apartments I have seen were bedroom, living room, bath, kitchen nook, or no bedroom with room for a bed/couch in a large room, tiny bath, table with hot plate, wash tub, ... Or no bath/loo, you shared with other renters and hoped no one was in the one upstairs or downstairs or down the hall from you when you needed to go.
Or someone's basement. I was going to link to FirstBastion's 'An Unfinished Basement' but it is no longer in the store. But look at it if you already own it and see if you can work with it?
Then there are older motel rooms that might work?
https://www.daz3d.com/motel-room - this is really sad looking, but I have seen apartments for rent like this room. Homeless are being housed in places like this now.
https://www.daz3d.com/desert-motel-bundle - this is pretty much like a standard hotel along the I-80 across the United States that will allow dogs. But add chewed up furniture.
https://www.daz3d.com/interiors-the-hotel-room no bath shown in promos. I opened up D|S and looked, it is a square room with doors, but again, no attached bath, but there is a door into the room from outside and a number on it. So you could attach a bath to the other door.
While you said apartment, some poor folks live in the trailer parks, owned by someone else and renting it out. https://www.daz3d.com/mobile-home
There are also shared houses where a number of folks rent a large house and have a room that may be furnished, or not and may not be maintained. Or just flop there. https://www.daz3d.com/tesla-abandoned-house
And I also know of places where drug addicts have places where they have a 'shelf' to sleep on, use a hallway bath, and carry their belongings in a backpack when they go wash dishes, if they can stay somewhat employed or to beg for cash. Think of a closet size space, 5 feet wide, 6.5 feet long maybe. A dirty 3 inch thick mattress, that has been used by too many others over the years.
My friends/family have had their ups and downs.

This was the first thing that came to mind:

There's no bedroom (could be a studio, I suppose) but it has the "one big room" aesthetic with the kitchen, living room, dining area, and entry all in the same space. I've lived in my share of those, for sure!
Thank you everyone. They are all great ideas. I'll look at them all and decide which would meet my needs better.
...this is a good one as it looks like an "efficiency" (studio) apartment one would find in an older building in the city compared some others which are tend to be more modern.
I agree, that is a great basic, cheap apartment made of cinder blocks. Though I would pare down the nick-nacks. How did I miss it? Now wishlisted. Thanks for highlighting it.

Just found a motel that might fit the bill. https://www.daz3d.com/desert-motel-room There is no kitchen or even a microwave, but there is a working toilet with a seat and lid that lifts individually.
