Pet owners| Studio MFTE | Studio | 1 bath | 194 sqft | $825 /mo | 1 unit available | Your own space. Your own bathroom. Your own rooftop deck — in one of Seattle’s most livable neighborhoods. This is an income-restricted studio through Seattle’s Multifamily Tax Exemption (MFTE) program, available to individuals and households earning at or below 65% of Area Median Income. Each studio comes with a kitchenette — mini fridge, microwave, and sink — a private bathroom, and high-speed community-wide WiFi. The kitchenette handles more than you’d think: coffee, reheating, meal prep, and plenty of fridge storage.

The building is made up of six towers, each with its own private rooftop deck — a rare amenity at this price point.

| Studio Loft Patio | Studio | 1 bath | 297 sqft | $999–$1,250 /mo | 2 units available | Alcove West Seattle — Lofted Studio with Private Patio Morning coffee in the sun on your own private patio. A table for two, a glass of something cold, the West Seattle skyline stretching out in front of you. Planters with flowers you picked out yourself along the railing. A quiet place to sit after work — without sharing it with anyone. Only 8 units in the building have this: a full-size private balcony patio with room for a bistro table, chairs, plants, and then some. Sun hits it just right. It’s the kind of outdoor space you’d expect in an apartment twice the price — and it’s yours alone. Inside, a mezzanine loft keeps your sleeping area up top with a full-size bed and TV, while your living space stays open below. High ceilings make the whole unit feel bigger than the numbers suggest. Kitchenette with mini fridge, microwave, and sink. Private bathroom. High-speed community-wide WiFi included. Add a compact air fryer, electric kettle, or single-burner induction plate and your kitchenette becomes a real cooking station — with a shared community kitchen in the building for the nights you want to go all out. Picture it: you come home, drop your bag, slide open the door and step outside. Late afternoon sun warming the railing. The neighborhood spread out below you. No one else’s music. No shared rooftop crowd. Just your patio, your plants, and whatever you want the evening to be. The building is made up of six towers, each with its own rooftop deck on top of the private patio you already have. West Seattle’s Junction village is nearby with locally owned restaurants, coffee shops, and a year-round farmers market. Alki Beach is a short trip away.

I love this location and the ease of having a small home! I had a hard time finding a place that fit my budget and allowed both my cat and dog until I found Avalon 1. The manager has been nice and unlike other reviewers, I have found him really easy to get ahold of by text. If you are looking for an affordable, small spot to lay your head down, this is it.
