The Mid-City i+Loft building opened in 2015 with decidedly tech-centric branding and the amenities to reflect that: surround sound speakers, energy-efficient appliances, and plenty of Apple-friendly docks. This one-bedroom corner apartment on the ground floor has all the aforementioned amenities, plus butcher-block counters and huge windows. It’s “super pet-friendly,” according to the listing, and it comes with gated parking. The $1,400/month asking price includes wi-fi, water, gas, and trash.

This three-bedroom, two-bedroom unit in Central City is half of a double, but the listing agent promises that the “tenant on the other side of this duplex is out of town a fair amount” and that “street parking is always available.” Original hardwood floors cover its 1,350 square feet, and you’ll also find 14-foot ceilings, new stainless-steel appliances, porch security cameras, and a washer-dryer among the house’s perks. Cats are OK, but there’s no mention of dogs. Rent is $1,400/month, and the house is available Oct. 1.
