Capitol Hill is one of the most popular areas in the Puget Sound region to rent an apartment, and that apartment will cost about $1,500 a month.
But if you want to live next to one of the region's top employers – Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) in Redmond – it will cost you $1,661 a month.
That's according to the most recent data from Dupre + Scott, a Seattle real estate advisory firm.
Apartments next to the region's largest employer, Boeing (NYSE: BA), will cost about $1,200 a month, near both Boeing's Renton 737 facility and Everett's 787 and 777 facilities.
