Tiny houses may seem like a relatively new trend, but cramped quarters are nothing new for Bostonians. Itty bitty studios and pint-sized condos abound in the city’s oldest neighborhoods—just take a look at these six homes on the market in Boston proper. All under 627 square feet, these condos are some of the smallest for sale right now. (Unfortunately, their price tags aren’t small to match.)

Below, peek inside the diminutive dwellings, ordered from smallest to largest.

This parlor-level studio is tiny but mighty. The 285-square-foot spot packs in intricate crown molding, ceiling detailing, and even enough room for a washer and dryer. Don’t overlook the murphy bed—yes, the kind that folds into the wall—and the built-in storage: clever solutions for such a small space.

Situated steps from the waterfront, this North End pad is billed as having one of the best roof decks in the neighborhood. It also has a newly renovated kitchen with a breakfast bar, a good-sized closet in the bedroom, and a decent amount of exposed brick.

Sure, this condo is small, but isn’t your apartment small, too? Listing agent Frank Celeste says you can own the place for less than the cost of renting it. And with a pantry in the chef’s kitchen, why wouldn’t you want to?
