One-Bedroom One Block from Waterfront Metro

The unit enters beside the kitchen nook, which has a breakfast bar overlooking the open main living/dining area and its oversized windows. A glass door in the corner of the room leads to a private balcony. While the apartment doesn’t come with a parking space, it does have an in-unit washer/dryer and the apartment allows up to two cats.

Amenities Worth the Cost of Admission

This one-bedroom is at the newer City Market at O development and boasts an open floorplan and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the community courtyard. Finishes range from Corian countertops in the kitchen to a soaking tub and glass-enclosed shower in the bathroom to a customizable closet system in the bedroom. However, the over-$3,000 rent is less about the 750 square-foot apartment and more about the building’s extensive amenity package, which includes a bi-level roof deck with infinity pool, waterfall, fire pits, music studio and outdoor bar.
