One Santa Fe's smallest studios measure just 343 square feet, but oh, the amenities! A residents-only yoga and Pilates studio; a saltwater infinity pool; free WiFi, mp3 docks, and USB ports in all common areas; and a club house with a giant kitchen and multiple TVs, so you never have to watch whatever someone else is watching if you don't want to. Studios start at $1,580.

Aside from the jungle-like grounds, this top-floor unit—just 470 square feet—at Brentwood's Casa Granada has a pool that's heated year-round, a gym with new equipment, a barbecue area, a rec room with a full kitchen, and a dry-cleaning service. Rent is $1,924.

Screening rooms, courtyards with barbecues and fire pits, and a fancy gym are, of course, part of the experience at Hanover South Park. But the real scene-stealer is the rooftop terrace, which, from this vantage point, offers up some incredible views of the Downtown skyline. The studios start at 493 square feet, with rents beginning at $2,040.

The Lex on Orange's smallest studios are 610 square feet, but the complex offers all sorts of fun stuff, including a game lounge with an Xbox AND a PlayStation 4, private cabanas with TVs, a heated saltwater pool and spa, a two-story gym, a rooftop dog zone with dog-washing area, an outdoor yoga space, and an on-site electric vehicle charging dock. Rent starts at $2,125.

Twentieth floor lounges with barbecues and a fancy gym—both of which this building has—are becoming run-of-the-mill. The Emerson's concierge service kicks it up a notch: they'll walk your dog, get you concert tickets, pick up your dry cleaning, and let in the delivery man who brings you groceries, then put those groceries away if you're out—and even residents of the 675-square-foot studios get to reap the benefits. Rent is $2,595. [Photo by Elizabeth Daniels]

1600 Vine offers a fancy pool in the courtyard, like every other place, but it also offers a very unique resident benefits program at local, participating businesses.
