As the last big stop before Alaska on a contiguous U.S. line, beautiful Seattle has a variety of options when it comes to lifestyle. Seattleites enjoy the many advantages of this city: lush evergreen forests — hence the name of “Emerald City”–, ocean salty water in Puget Sound to the West, freshwater in Lake Washington to the East, mountainous national parks close by, and a booming job market with top internet and clean technology brands right in the city.
The same variety is found in the apartment market. In addition to the existing available apartments for rent in Seattle, 26 new large residential developments have opened their doors in 2015, awaiting their customers to take advantage of new renting spaces.
With so many options, a little apartment hunting help may come in handy, if you want to make sure you are getting a good deal. Here are our best finds in Seattle available right now, renting under the average market price for that unit type:
