    I was 2 years in the shelter system. When I walked into Parkwest and met Angela, she greeted me with a smile. She never made me feel like I was less than. I really appreciate her patience and understanding. Thank You Ms. Angela for everything, You helped me a lot.

    I was looking for an apartment with more space and some nice tree views. I found an incredible one-bedroom in Parkwest overlooking the zoo and since day-one the staff have been helpful, responsive, and kind. Highly recommend!

    -staff is good, but def understaffed. everyone i interact with has been extremely helpful. though it takes them a while to respond to emails. -parking is pretty outrageously priced, without acess to any of the park place amenities. if im paying $175 for parking i should be able to use the gym+rooftop. -its a solid value -i like the common area, but packages need a better place bc they just pile up -id like to be able to grill thats all id liek

Apartments in District of Columbia under $1,500

Balancing snug and cheap is no joke when it comes to renting a place to live. “Are there any apartments near me under $1,500?” is a great question to start from. Knowing your budget means you’re one step ahead and on the right track. We’ve taken care of the rest and found 842 apartments for rent in District of Columbia on which you’ll spend less than $1,500. A small, cheap rental means you’ll have to budget your living space as well. The great news is that keeping it simple pays off in more than one way. The cost of utilities is likely to run low, and you get the added benefit of not having to spend too much time cleaning up the whole place. Smaller apartments are more likely to be closer to the city center, so there are potential cuts to your transportation costs too. And here’s one more very special secret to add to your book-of-perks: you’re less likely to overshop when you know your space is limited.

Rentals near you under $1,500

Our goal is to help you find cheap apartments that live up to your dreams without crushing your budget. It may be a long shot to go looking for 3 bedroom apartments or even 2 bedroom for less than $1,500. The average rental size in District of Columbia is 687 Sqft, but the $1,500 limit will probably narrow your search to places with a smaller square footage. Go through our listings and be on the look-out for a hassle-free studio or a 1 bedroom apartment. We trust you’ll turn it into a cozy home which is also budget-friendly to the core.

Finding a home nearby is easier than you think. Check out our Apartments Near Me page and take your pick!
