↑ This loft in Belltown is a one-bedroom, but it’s made of some seriously high-quality parts: bamboo floors, luxury hardwoods. It also boasts a sweeping view of the sound through both floor-to-ceiling windows and a shared rooftop deck. It’ll run you $2522 a month.

↑ $2434 will get you in the door in some new Capitol Hill construction—like this one-bedroom in the Pike Motorworks building. At 615 square feet, it’s one of the smaller items on the list—although you could go smaller, especially in Capitol Hill—and, depending on which way the windows are facing, might have a view of the patio at Linda’s, which may or may not be a bonus for you.

↑ In Greenwood, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom upper-level duplex with a den, a washer and dryer, and an unprecedented number of recessed ceiling lights will cost you $2500 a month. The building is nondescript, but the unit is huge—1600 square feet—and the master bath even has a jetted tub!

You have your options. Which one will it be?
