In Eastlake, this studio in a fourplex converted from a Craftsman house—complete with a cute mailbox—is renting for $1,195. That includes 300 square feet of space (small, but not the smallest), plenty of kitchen storage, a Murphy bed, and stacked in-unit laundry. All the units share a small yard maintained by the owner, and pets can come along. It doesn’t have parking, but it’s a couple of blocks from the 70.

This corner studio in Phinney Ridge has plenty of counter space, a walk-in closet, some vintage details like archways, and cute tilework in the full bathroom. The living room has a built-in Murphy bed to save space. Rent is $1,150, and cats can come, too. It’s on the 5 line.

Via the Molloy

In the U District literally right next to the University of Washington, this itty-bitty studio—188 square feet—still manages to fit a full kitchen, although counter space is lacking. A walk-in closet and bathroom storage help save space, and parquet floors are a nice touch. Rent is $1,175 per month; cats can come, and parking is available for extra (plus, it’s right on a ton of bus lines).
