Capitol Hill
Fred Anhalt was a prolific Seattle builder known for his elaborate, Tudor and Mission-inspired buildings, especially in Capitol Hill. Up in the north corner of the neighborhood by Volunteer Park, this three-bedroom, two-bedroom example is going for $3,995 a month, boasting both the original character (like hardwoods, leaded-glass windows, radiators, archways, even a fireplace)) and newer amenities (like in-unit laundry). It has three private entrances and a whopping 1,600 square feet of space. It’s on the 49, or there’s optional car parking. Cats can come along.

Ballard
Right off the main Market Street drag, this classic, Tudor-inspired Craftsman house, complete with lots of original millwork, has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 2,000 square feet of space for $4,000 on the dot. There’s a bonus room in addition to the three official bedrooms, and a private backyard includes a patio and established fruit trees, grapevines, and hopvines (there’s a chicken coop, too, but no chickens). It has its own laundry, too. Park whatever you want (car, bike, stuff) in the detached garage, or it’s on several bus routes. There’s a doggy door, but dogs have to interview to get in. (No cats.)

Belltown
This very Frasier Crane-esque condo just north of Pike Place Market has two bedrooms and two bathrooms for $3,995 a month. A little older than many of the modern condos around downtown today, this one is relatively elaborate inside, with shutters and built-ins. It’s on the 18th floor, with a clear view of the Space Needle from both the living room and the balcony. It has its own laundry, but shares an indoor pool, gym, and 24-hour concierge service with its neighbors. No pets. There’s not a lot of need for parking in this neighborhood (so much transit, so close to employment centers), but if you need it, it’s a whopping $275 extra.

Eastlake
A few blocks south of the University Bridge, this 2010-built luxury townhouse offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and big Lake Union views for $3,995 a month. The living room’s anchored by a fireplace surrounded by built-ins—a trend that continues into the bedrooms, which also have built-in cabinetry and shelving. The roof deck is huge, and has unobstructed views reaching all the way to the Space Needle. There’s in-unit laundry and an off-street parking pad, too, or catch the 70. Both cats and dogs are allowed.

Queen Anne
Another townhome, this one in upper Queen Anne, has two bedrooms and three bathrooms for $3,950 a month. Both bedrooms have en-suite baths and private outdoor space—a balcony above and patio below. A mid-level patio has gathering and planting space, too. Inside, find dramatic wood ceilings and in-floor radiant heat, plus its own laundry. There’s an attached garage for whatever you want to park there, or catch the 1 or 2. No pets are allowed.
