If you're looking for a new apartment, where you don't have to deal with the annoying problems brought on by things like excess space and a pesky kitchen stove, and you were hoping to spend over $1,000 a month, we may have found just the place!

Footprint Hollywood, "conveniently located in the heart of Portland's Hollywood District," is now advertising 165-square-foot "micro-studios" with "Vaulted Ceilings! Skylights!" on Craigslist for $1,135 a month. That includes utilities, at least.

Footprint Hollywood, which opened in July, is the second Footprint building in Portland. The first, Footprint-NW opened in 2015. The company has nine buildings in Seattle. A representative for the management of the Northwest building said over the phone that units in their building cost between $725 and $1,135 a month, depending mainly on what floor the unit is on (higher up equals more expensive).

High rents continue to be a major issue in Portland, even as more buildings appear on the skyline. In April, we reported that rents in the Portland area rose 13 percent over the last year. And in some Portland buildings, renters are taking matters into their own hands, like the tenants in Northeast Portland who are shaming their landlord over high rents.

Still, Footprint Hollywood is "leasing up quickly," according to the representative from Footprint-NW.

Footprint isn't the only building in Portland charging more than a $1,000 a month for a studio. In another ad on Craigslist, a 600-square-foot apartment near Providence Park is going for $1,295 a month (this posting was removed after this story was published). Also in Northwest, for $1,546 you can get a 561-square-foot studio that "Puts The STUD In Studio!" Of course, that one has a washer and dryer. And both have kitchens. And more 200 square feet.

However, the Footprint Hollywood building is across the street from Trader Joe's, which will be great for restocking your mini-fridge when you run out of microwavable meals. There's always a silver lining, you guys.
