Capitol Hill

Around 13th and Mercer—not too far from Volunteer Park—this itty-bitty Apodment “suite” with a courtyard entrance is $1,000 on the dot, with internet included. It’s just 156 square feet, but has a mini-fridge, a microwave, a sink, and some shelving, although tenants share larger, common kitchens supplied with cookware. It can come (sparsely) furnished with a twin bed and a (folding) table and chair, and has a small, private three-quarter bath. It’s a couple of blocks in either direction to the 10 or 49. No pets.

Central District

Near Garfield High School, this more conventionally sized studio apartment has a large, separate kitchen and full bathroom—plus vintage millwork, hardwood floors, and a clawfoot tub. It has its own outside entrance in a fenced backyard. It even comes with off-street parking, although it’s a block from the 4 and 48 lines. This one doesn’t allow pets either, though. Rent is $975 a month.

Chinatown International District

CID’s historic Milwaukee Hotel is home to this one-bedroom apartment for $1,015 a month—although apartments in this building, regardless of bedroom count, are more studio-sized, with no living room really to speak of. It does have a full kitchen and bath, though, and great transit access, being right on the First Hill Streetcar and a few blocks from the International District train and bus stations. There’s a small attached garage, too. No word on pets; rent is $1,015 a month.

Greenwood

On the northeast end of Greenwood, just about in Northgate, this 225-square-foot studio rents for $995 a month, with all utilities, including Wi-Fi, included. There’s not much in the way of a kitchenette—a small countertop, sink, and fridge—but tenants share a larger kitchen. Residents also share a rooftop deck, although the listing also promises great soundproofing if you don’t want to be social. It’s right off the Rapidride E line. No pets allowed in this one, either.

Belltown

This little (about 12-by-16) Belltown studio has a full (but small) kitchen, a sleeping loft, and what looks like a decently-sized closet, plus a certain amount of historic charm from the 1903 building. It also allows pets. What it doesn’t have is a private bathroom—10 bathrooms are shared with the building’s 42 tenants. Utilities are at least included in the $995 rent, though. It’s also just a couple of blocks from the major transit corridor on Third Avenue.
