↑ This Greenwood one-bedroom apartment is right on the main commercial drag of the neighborhood—and the 5 bus—and has a wood-burning fireplace, in-unit laundry, and a solid amount of kitchen counter space. No pets are allowed, though, and you’re on your own for parking. It rents for $1,250 a month.

↑ In lower Queen Anne/Uptown, this studio is small, at 382 square feet, but has a balcony and a sleeping area. Cats are allowed, but subject to both a deposit and some pretty steep pet rent. Rent is $1,297 per month; parking is available for an extra $100 per month, although the apartment is right on the 2, 13, and 29 lines.
