Apartments & Rentals
Renting in Alexandria offers unparalleled flexibility, whether you opt for a studio in a sleek high‐rise, a one‐bedroom in a garden‐style complex, or a boutique unit in a renovated rowhouse. Large complexes near Eisenhower Avenue and Landmark Mall cater to renters with amenity packages, pools, fitness centers, clubhouses, while smaller buildings in Old Town and Del Ray give you character and walkable neighborhood vibes. Lease terms can range from student‐friendly short-term agreements to longer-term, year-plus leases preferred by professionals.
While renting means you won’t build equity, it also shields you from unexpected repair bills and property taxes. Some buildings include utilities or offer on-site maintenance, and apartment life often brings a built-in social scene: meet-ups in communal lounges, fitness classes, and resident events. On the downside, rent increases at renewal can strain budgets, and personalization is limited, painting walls or installing fixtures usually requires permission. For those unsure of their long-term plans or who prioritize convenience and minimal responsibility, apartments and rentals deliver a flexible, turnkey living solution.
