↑ Unsurprisingly, Urby made it onto this list: the enormous rental offering one of its studio apartments for a net rent of $1,625 with a 14 month lease (gross rent is really $1,895). If you’ve missed the run-down on all that this amenity-packed development has to offer, you can catch up here.

↑ $1,495 rents you this sunny one-bedroom in Grymes Hill. Judging from the photos, the apartment is pretty large and a recent renovation has introduced a new kitchen and shiny hardwood floors. The best part: no security deposit required!

↑ The listing photos for this two-bedroom apartment in Tompkinsville aren’t the most telling nor is the broker’s description but from what we can gather, it looks like it’s a not-too-terrible space for $1,600/month.
