In Capitol Hill, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in a Fred Anhalt-designed designed Tudor revival complex is going for $3,050. That includes an adorable fireplace, vintage windows, hardwood floors, in-unit laundry, and shared courtyard access, plus around 1,000 square feet of space. It’s pet-friendly and located right along transit, but parking is available in an attached garage.

This upper Queen Anne, two-story condo has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, skylights, a balcony, and hardwood floors. Pets can come along with no deposit—and while it doesn’t come with in-unit laundry, it has the hookups. It comes with a garage parking spot and is along transit routes, too. It can come furnished. Rent is $3,000 a month on the dot.

In Beacon Hill, this five-bedroom house, renting for $2,995 per month, has hardwood floors throughout—including in a finished daylight basement mother-in-law apartment.

No word on pets either way.
