Via Craigslist

For two bedrooms at this price point look to North Admiral, where this 850-square-foot apartment in a six-unit building is renting for $1,495. That includes in-unit laundry and one off-street parking stall. Pets can’t come, though.

Via Illumina

In Eastlake, this pet-friendly, 462-square-foot studio also has a den—not technically a bedroom, but nobody’s stopping you from sleeping in it. It has hardwood floors and in-unit laundry, and the building shares a large roof deck. Rent here is $1,450.

Via Craigslist

Head to Fremont for this 650-square-foot one-bedroom apartment that comes with a patio and covered parking. It’s a corner unit, and it allows cats. Rent is $1,450.

Via Craigslist

This one-bedroom apartment in a quieter part of Ballard near the Locks features a patio and in-unit laundry. It seems to have an Old Ballard vibe, too; the listing says, “live in Ballard without having to be hip, just be happy.” Rent here is $1,425; cats are allowed.
