Via Alcyone Apartments

South Lake Union

Right in the middle of SLU, this one-bedroom loft in a newer building has an industrial vibe with concrete and exposed pipe for $2,446 a month—including the standard loft wall o’ windows. It’s a spacious 824 square feet, has its own in-unit laundry, and shares a resident garden, two courtyards, a gym, and grills with other tenants. It has bike parking, and is right in the middle of a job center—although it’s along bus lines, too. Pets can come along.

Via the Shea

Capitol Hill

Up at the east end of Capitol Hill along the commercial drag of 19th Avenue, another pet-friendly, newer-construction one-bedroom—this one the regular kind, and 616 square feet—rents for $2,375 a month. It has a modern design with clean lines and tall windows, plus a small, private balcony, with more outdoor space, like courtyards and a roof deck, shared with the rest of the building. Laundry is in-unit, and there’s both car and bike parking available in addition to being on the 12 line. Photos appear to be of a model unit.

Via Avenue One

Mount Baker

For a more ground-level experience, try this little hillside 650-square-foot house with one bedroom, custom woodwork, and cedar shingles for $2,395 a month. Vaulted ceilings, wood trim, and hardwoods give it kind of a cabin vibe—especially the dropped exposed-grain ceiling over the bedroom, the floor to a small loft above. A private balcony looks out to the back of the house, too. Street parking is generally available around here, and it’s a couple blocks downhill to the 14 and a 12-minute walk to light rail. No pets allowed, though.

Via Craigslist/2900 on First

Belltown

Although it’s adjacent to downtown, this one-bedroom apartment is a true garden apartment: on a lower level, but as a tradeoff for a greenery-lined patio facing a central courtyard. The place has its own laundry, and has a suite of standard newer-building amenities: the courtyard, a dog run and dog wash station, a bike repair station, a shared office, and a gym. Parking’s available for extra, but it’s in a major transit corridor and walking distance to downtown and SLU. Rent is $2,395 a month.

Via Craigslist

Magnolia

More off the beaten path, this half of a duplex on the northeast side of Magnolia—just across the canal from Ballard—has two bedrooms for $2,350 a month. That includes shared outdoor areas with the other unit, both a front yard with space for gardening and a fenced, tree-lined backyard. Corner windows and accent walls add to the homey vibe. A garage can store a car, bike, or just some stuff, and although Magnolia’s not the most transit-rich neighborhood, it’s on the 31 and 33. No word on pets.
