Roosevelt
Just over I-5 from Greenlake, this brand-new large studio with a separate sleeping area rents for $1,593 per month. It’s got that new-apartment stuff like AC, stainless steel appliances, and in-unit laundry—plus those new-building shared amenities, like a gym, a roof deck, resident lounges, and a bike repair and storage area. Pets can come along, and it’s along transit, although there’s a car parking garage with EV charging, too. Photos are of a model unit.

Haller Lake
Those looking for a single-family home can find this no-frills, two-bedroom rambler on the market for $1,650 a month. It has hardwood floors and a fully-fenced backyard—handy for dogs, which are allowed here. The listing boasts parking for multiple cars, but it’s also near Aurora and the E line. Extra bonuses include laundry facilities and a storage shed.

Capitol Hill
Up by Volunteer Park, this classic vintage one-bedroom a big bay window and what appears to be some original cabinetry and millwork—plus a checkerboard floor in the large kitchen. Cats can come on a case-by-case basis, but no dogs are allowed. It’s on the 49, too, and being in Capitol Hill, it’s pretty walkable to wherever you need to go. Rent is $1,650 a month.

First Hill
Just across the way—right by the south part of Capitol Hill—there’s another vintage one-bedroom, this one in the basement, for $1,550 a month. While it doesn’t get the same light as its northern neighbor, it does have a clawfoot tub and a more lenient pet policy (both cats and dogs). This one’s right on the number 2 bus line and walkable to both the hill’s amenities and downtown.

Lower Queen Anne/Uptown
For a slightly later vintage—the 1920s or so—this studio in lower Queen Anne has exposed-grain millwork, hardwood floors, and a curtained-off sleeping area rents for $1,650 a month. It has an adorable eat-in kitchen with an archway, plus its own washer and dryer. It comes furnished, too. Being just off Denny means it’s practically downtown already, and on a ton of transit lines. One big drawback, though: no pets.
