Brewerytown (2 beds, 1 bath)—Making our way across the Schuylkill into Brewerytown, you’ll find this recently renovated apartment in a second-floor walkup. The kitchen leaves a bit to be desired (sorry, no dishwasher), but at least restaurants like Flying Fish Crafthouse and Rybrew are nearby.

Francisville (Studio, 1 bath)—In Francisville, this 550-square-foot studio is located in a new apartment building. It offers all of the basic amenities—laundry is shared—and pets are welcome with landlord approval. Parking is available, but the Girard Avenue Station on the Broad Street Line is a quick walk away.

Rittenhouse (Studio, 1 bath)—If location tops size on your list, here’s a studio in Rittenhouse Square asking $1,095 a month. The tiniest rental on this week’s list clocks in at 400 square feet.
