http://audiosystemsgroup.com/LimitedSpaceAntennasPPT.pdf includes several 
suggestions, one of which might be useful for you, depending on your real 
estate and interests. If you have some skyhooks for wires and space for 
radials, an inverted L or Tee vertical can be quite effective. 

There's a piece in this month's QST by my neighbor K6MM about a really 
compact 160M vertical that he's had some fun with.
