Mapping The 10 Most Expensive Rentals In Seattle

View as Map

Could we possibly do Renters Week without taking a peek at the most expensive rentals currently on the market in Seattle? Of course not. With the help of Zillow, we're doing just that. You might be surprised to find that not all of them exist in Belltown or Downtown. We've got quite a share of U-District homes, a Queen Anne house and even a Magnolia luxury abode. The one thing they have all in common is that it will cost you thousands a month to live there.

Quantity, not quality. This U-Distrcit house includes ten bedrooms but only three bathrooms. When you decide to divvy up that $8.3K/month rent, make sure those with access to a shower pay more.

3908 W Barrett House - $7.5K/Month

Copy Link

Live like Magnolia's upper crust without shelling out so much cash all at once. For $7.5K/month, get your very own 3-BR/4-bath Tuscan-style home inside private, gated grounds. Live like a King on a Duke's salary.

Another college-kid special, this home has 10 BRs, 3 bath, 2 kitchens and four off-street parking spots. At $7K/month, you could break that down to a pretty reasonable rate for ten people.

Copy Link

Inside a renovated historical building, The Cobb offers upscale contemporary style, open floor plans and massive ceiling heights. At $6.8K, this 2-BR/2-bath unit maintains some vintage charm amongst those modern touches.

4722 20th Ave NE - $6.3K/Month

Copy Link

This 3K sq. ft. U-District house includes 9-BRs (nice) but only 2 bathrooms (not so nice). It is two blocks from UW so, you know, maybe you can just hold it in and use the campus lavatories.

2022 Taylor Ave - $5.99K/Month

Copy Link

It's not on the South Slope but you'd be hard-pressed to beat the location and views from this 3.4K sq, ft. Queen Anne home renting for $5.99K/month. All three floors overlook Lake Union and beyond. So does the jacuzzi soaking tub.
