Washington's rental market offers a very strong selection of listings, with an average of 5,083 available per month. The majority of these listings are 1-bedroom apartments, making up 41% of the market, followed by 2-bedroom apartments at 28%. Studios account for 13% of the market, while 3-bedroom apartments are relatively less common.
Many Washington apartments offer desirable amenities, with air conditioning being a standout feature, available in 71% of listings. In-unit laundry is also a common perk, found in 70% of apartments. Additionally, 61% of listings include a dishwasher, making Washington a great option for renters who value convenience. Keep in mind that these figures are based on historical data, but they should give you a sense of what to expect in the current market.
Washington's average rent prices have experienced a slight decline, decreasing by about 1% to $2,512 per month, on average, for all rental sizes and types. The average cost of a 1-bedroom decreased by 1.3% to $2,380 per month, while 2-bedrooms dropped by 1.9% to $3,172 per month. 3-bedrooms saw a 1% decrease to $3,546 per month. Studios, however, saw a slight increase of 0.5% to $1,939 per month.
Prices in Washington vary depending on the time of year. August is the month with the highest rent, with prices increasing by about 6% compared to February, the month with the lowest rent. Despite being the month with the lowest rent, February is also one of the most competitive months, with more demand compared to available inventory. In contrast, December is the least competitive month, with less overall demand compared to available inventory, making it a potentially good time to find a deal.
Washington's rich history is reflected in its stunning architecture, with many rentals showcasing the city's iconic styles. Federal-style homes, which account for around 16.7% of the market, are a classic example of this, drawing inspiration from the country's founding era and characterized by their symmetrical facades and balanced proportions. Another style deeply rooted in American history is Colonial, making up approximately 21.4% of the market. This style originated from the country's colonial past and is often marked by its use of brick, wood, and classic details. In contrast, Contemporary homes, which comprise about 49.8% of the market, offer a more modern take on Washington living, with sleek lines, minimal ornamentation, and an emphasis on functionality. Architectural style in Washington is representative of a subset of listings available on Zumper over the last few years.
In Washington, the most sought-after neighborhoods are Benning, Trinidad-Langston, and Deanwood, with 1-bedroom rents averaging $3,744.50 per month. These areas garner significant interest, with Benning and Deanwood receiving 2.55 and 3.21 times more inquiries than the market average, respectively.
Washington's top lifestyle trends are pet friendliness and social living. Pet owners will appreciate neighborhoods like Southwest Employment Area, Spring Valley, and River Terrace - Lily Ponds - Mayfair, which offer outdoor spaces, dog parks, and pet-friendly amenities. Social butterflies will thrive in areas like Mount Vernon Square, Logan Circle - Shaw, and Downtown - Penn Quarter - Chinatown, which feature a mix of safety, restaurants, and vibrant street life.
These popular neighborhoods offer a unique blend of amenities and lifestyle options, making them highly desirable among renters in Washington.
For those on a budget, Congress Heights and Deanwood offer more affordable options, with 1-bedroom rents at $1,387 and $1,328 per month, respectively - 40% and 43% lower than the city median.
