Ranked shortlist

610 Clematis — J.'s building

610 Clematis St · same building as J. (0-min walk) · 8 stories

Literally the same building ~$2,700 · under budget ~$3.18 / sq ft Water + cable included

Gym: fitness center with free weights + cardio, plus sauna and steam room. Size: a 1BR/1.5-bath ~850 sq ft recently listed ~$2,700. Upper-floor units exist (a 6th-floor 1BR was on market). Utilities include water & cable; annual lease; small pet limit (~30 lb).

How to inquire: It's a condo (units owned individually), so there's no single leasing line — inquire through the active rental listing (Zillow / apartments.com) or J.'s building front desk / management (24-hr attended lobby).

Gym: state-of-the-art fitness center + yoga room, sundeck with pool and hot tub. Size: the largest 1-beds on the list, which makes it the cheapest per square foot. Steps from Rosemary Square shops and green space. It's a low-rise, so confirm a 3rd-floor-or-higher unit and check the bath layout.

Size / price: studios (401–566 sq ft) list from ~$2,047–$2,115 ($5+/sq ft — small); 1-bed inventory is limited right now, so ask what 1BR sizes/prices/floors are open.

Oversea at Flagler Banyan Square

290 N Olive Ave · 13-min walk (0.6 mi) · 6 stories · built 2019

Base 1BR ~$2,479–$2,569 Waterfront district · rooftop All-in price runs over $2,800

Watch the math — with required fees the all-in monthly climbs past $2,800, so pin down a specific unit's total. A block off the Flagler waterfront, great for morning/evening walks.

Loftin Place

805 N Olive Ave · 19-min walk (0.9 mi) · 8 stories

$2,526–$2,728 Several under budget now Further north · smaller units

Gym: resident fitness center (confirm equipment). Size: 1-beds 584–717 sq ft, $2,526–$2,728 (~$3.65–4.33/sq ft) — small floor plans push the per-foot cost up. Upper floors available. The trade-off is a 19-minute walk north, outside the immediate Clematis/CityPlace core.

Leasing (Greystar): 561-820-8744 · Tour / floor plans: greystar.com → Loftin Place · Mon–Fri 9–6, Sat 10–5.

Cost per square foot — who gives the most space for the money

Building	Rent (1BR)	Size	$ / sq ft	Read
The Flats at CityPlace	$2,500–$2,650	908–1,054 sf	$2.51–$2.75	Most space per dollar — big units
610 Clematis (J.'s building)	~$2,700	~850 sf	$3.18	Great value + utilities included
Oversea at Flagler Banyan Sq	~$2,569 base	747 sf	$3.44	Base only; all-in runs higher
Loftin Place	$2,613	716 sf	$3.65	Smaller floor plans
Vine on Clematis	$2,115 (studio)	409 sf	$5.17	Studios only right now — 1BR TBD

Per-foot cost uses a representative under-budget unit at each building. The Flats wins on space-for-money; Vine's per-foot number is high because only small studios are currently listed.

Worth knowing (stretch / edge cases)

Sole at City Center (499 Evernia St, CityPlace core, ~8-min walk) is the best bath match — advertised oversized soaking tubs + roomy showers, EV charging, 8 stories, gym. But 1-beds now run ~$2,850–$3,280, just over her line. Worth a call only if a smaller unit dips under $2,800.
Tortoise One (740 N Dixie Hwy, NORA district) has 1-beds from ~$2,299 with a one-month-free offer, 8 stories, gym — cheapest overall, but ~1.2 mi north, outside the walkable Clematis/Rosemary core.

Bottom line

✔ Dream scenario: 610 Clematis — same building as J., ~$2,700, utilities included, gym + sauna, upper floors. If a 1BR is open, that's the one.
Best all-around: The Flats at CityPlace — in Rosemary Square, the most space per dollar (~$2.6/sq ft), real gym + pool, 10-min walk, 1 month free. Just verify a 3rd-floor+ unit. Call 561-644-8861.
Closest & newest: Vine on Clematis — 5-min walk, EV charging — but ask about 1-bed availability (studios lead right now).
At every tour, confirm: exact floor (3rd+), shower + tub, and that the all-in monthly (rent + trash + parking + utilities) stays under $2,800.
