The Seattle Times reports of a new development on Capitol Hill, a rooming house. The rooms range from 90-168 Sq Ft, have no kitchen, a small bath and no closets. One of the partners in this project, Calhoun Properties, already owns several rooming houses in the U District and they fit a real estate need nicely. Though there are only 6 parking spaces for the 46 rooms the owners say that few of the renters of their other properties have cars so it will probably not be an issue. I think they are right. The location is good for bus access and those who want to live in this type of rental probably don't have the money for a car or don't want a car. With a shortage of low-cost housing I think this idea is brilliant. Click here to see the entire Seattle Times article on the rooming house.
