The compact unit is owned by a foreign service officer who uses it when she is in the U.S. The condo has furnishings that are common for a unit this small, such as a futon that doubles as a couch and a bed, a kitchen island with built-in storage that could be used as a dining table or a desk, and an ottoman with built-in storage that is heavy enough for a guest to sit on.

• Price: $169,000
• Bedrooms: 0
• Bathrooms: One
• Square Feet: 265
