Which of These 350 Sq. Ft. Studios Is Worth Renting?

Imagine you have around $1,450/month to spend on a place and you've narrowed it down to two studios. How do you make up your mind? The answer is simple: you shove them into a metaphorical cage and let them battle it out until one emerges victorious. It's time for Real Estate Deathmatch.

↑ While 20-square-feet smaller and $175 more expensive than the following studio, this pet-friendly U Street Corridor studio at 1433 T Street NW may be the better choice if you value being close to an active nightlife. The unit features stainless steel appliances and granite countertops in the kitchen, hardwood flooring throughout, and a washer and dryer. For an extra $200, you can also get an unassigned surface lot parking space.

↑ Only a few blocks from the Rhode Island Avenue Metro station, you can rent this Brookland studio with building amenities that include a pet grooming station, pet park, car charging station, and fitness center. The unit, itself, comes with a washer and dryer, balcony, and walk-in closets. Both cats and dogs are allowed. For those who have a car, you can get an assigned surface parking lot space for $75. This unit is located at 200 Rhode Island Avenue NE.
