What the Current One-Bedroom Listings Show

The five listings above all have the bedroom field set to 1, but they are not five copies of the same thing. Reading each listing's own details side by side is the quickest way to see which ones actually fit your year.

Maverick Apartments is listed at $1,675/month with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. It is marked furnished, the lease type is Year Lease (12 Months), and the lease timing reads "June–March". It is listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus. Because that timing does not span a full twelve months, the first question is the exact start and end dates the lease would cover.

Lease Takeover for 1 bed 1 bath is listed at $1,000/month, furnished, with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. The property type is Apartment, the lease type is Year Lease (12 Months) and the lease timing reads "Sept 2026 - Aug 2027". Its Distance by Car field also says under 5 minutes. A takeover means you step into a lease that has already started, so ask exactly which terms carry over to you and what the end date is.

Oliv Seattle is listed at $1,255/month, furnished, with the bedroom and bathroom fields both set to 1. The property type is Apartment, the lease type is Year Lease (12 Months), the lease timing reads "October 1st,2026", and the Distance by Car field says under 5 minutes. The listing does not say whether the price covers a whole one-bedroom unit or one bedroom inside a larger unit, so ask before you compare it with the others.

Standard Apt Room with Ensuite Near UW is listed at $1,550/month. It is furnished, has 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, lists a 9 months lease type, and the lease timing reads "Dec to August 2027". The Distance by Car field reads under 5 minutes. A nine-month term that starts in December is worth lining up against your own calendar before you sign.

Trailside room for sublet is listed at $1,500/month, furnished, with the bedroom and bathroom fields set to 1. The title itself says it is a room, so treat it as one bedroom in a shared place rather than a private one-bedroom apartment. The lease type reads Year Lease (12 Months), the timing reads "Sept 2026-Sept 2027", and the Distance by Car field reads 5 to 10 minutes from campus.

UW 1 Bedroom Rentals in Seattle: Whole Unit or Single Room?

When you compare UW 1 bedroom rentals in Seattle, the first thing to settle is what "1 bedroom" means on each listing. The bedroom count is entered by the person posting, and some use it for a full one-bedroom apartment while others use it for a single room they are renting out in a shared unit. Among the five listings in this guide, one title says outright that it is a room, and the other four list 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom without saying whether anything is shared. That difference changes what you are paying for, so get a clear answer in writing before you put the prices next to each other.

Across these five listings the prices run from $1,000/month to $1,675/month. All five are marked furnished. Lease setups also differ: by the lease type field, three are Year Lease (12 Months), one is Sub Lease and one is 9 months, and two of the year-lease listings describe themselves in their titles as a takeover or a room for sublet. None of that tells you which one is better; it tells you which questions to ask. A furnished room on a year lease and a furnished room on a nine-month lease are very different commitments even if the monthly figure looks similar.

We do not have walk times or transit times for these listings. The only distance information we hold is each listing's Distance by Car field, which four of these five set to under 5 minutes from campus and one sets to 5 to 10 minutes. If your day depends on walking, biking or the bus, check the route yourself with a map app before you commit.

Tips for Renting a One-Bedroom Near Campus

• Ask whether the price is for the whole unit or a single room, and whether any space such as the kitchen or bathroom is shared. Get the answer in writing so you are comparing like with like.

• For a sublease or lease takeover, ask to see the original lease, confirm the end date, and ask whether the landlord or property manager has approved the transfer. Your rights depend on that paperwork, not on the listing title.

• Ask what the monthly price includes. Utilities, internet, parking and any building fees can change the real cost, and an unfurnished place also means budgeting for a bed, a desk and kitchen basics.

• See the place in person or on a live video call before you send any money, take dated photos of its condition when you move in, and keep every payment and message on a record you can find later.
