MAINTENANCE $996 a month
PROS The apartment, which faces south and west and is on a low-slung block, feels bright and airy. Colorful accent walls are used to great effect.
CONS Even though there are currently three distinct places to sleep, the apartment is technically a two-bedroom: A previous owner who divided a bedroom into two smaller sleeping areas never filed the paperwork with officials to certify that the areas met all the code requirements.
