Seattle rent comparison: What’s for rent along Metro route 49

For Transportation Week, we’re doing something a little different with Curbed Comparisons: What’s available to rent along a public transit line. We've found six listings along King County Metro Route 49.

Via Twelve at U District

Near the end of the line in the U District at 11th and 47th, this 600-square-foot studio has a semi-private sleeping nook, a full kitchen, and a washer and dryer in-unit. It’s pet-friendly, and has public amenities like a gym, a “video game arcade,” and roof decks. This one rents for $1,749 per month.

Via Cornell and Associates

On the south edge of the U District just over the University Bridge, this relatively no-frills two-bedroom apartment has a large, covered balcony. While it has room for a roomie, that roomie cannot be a pet. It rents for $1,695.

Via Craigslist

Farther south in Capitol Hill at Harvard and Olive, another vintage one-bedroom, this one 610 square feet, has hardwood floors, a clawfoot tub, and large windows. It doesn’t allow pets, though. The $1,685 in rent comes with shared building Wi-Fi.
