Sand Point

Up by Matthews Beach, this two-bedroom, 1,150-square-foot apartment has a long, brick, midcentury-style fireplace and a large balcony, accessible from both the living room and a bedroom.

Ballard/Crown Hill

On the north end of Loyal Heights, this 1,500-square-foot two-bedroom house—a kind of duplex, with a one-bedroom ADU in the basement—rents for $2,500 on the dot, which includes cable and internet. It has a huge kitchen, a large back deck, and half a second story with attic ceilings has two bonus rooms on top of the bedrooms. The two units share garage storage and basement laundry. It has all that cute Craftsman house stuff, too, like hardwood floors and subtle millwork. There’s parking, or it’s a few blocks from the 15 and D Line.

Via Holland Residential

South Lake Union/Westlake

Right as South Lake Union curves up Westlake Avenue, this one-bedroom plus den with a private patio rents for $2,485 a month. Like most newer buildings in the area, the amenities are... kind of a lot: the rooftop patio has turf areas with lawn games and there’s a bowling alley at the entrance. In the unit itself, there’s in-unit laundry and 730 square feet. Pets can come, and it’s right near transit and the cycle track, although parking in an attached garage is available.

Via Craigslist

Capitol Hill

Go for a unique Tudor vibe in this one-bedroom, Fred Anhalt designed vintage apartment on the east side of Capitol Hill for $2,550 a month. It’s a top-floor, corner unit, with leaded-glass windows and pockets of vaulted ceilings, plus modern features like in-unit laundry and newer kitchen appliances. In addition to a full, normal bedroom, two lofts add extra space. It’s right off the 10, 8, and 43, but there’s parking available for extra. Pets can come, too.
