As renters and movers know, location and spacing are two of the most important aspects when searching for a new apartment home. With a fixed budget in mind, sometimes being able to afford both space and location is a hard find. But luckily, Padfinders can help make that search easier!

With space being at the top of a renter’s priority list, more affordable apartments typically are further from the center city and in smaller communities/areas. One option when D.C. renters are looking for more space for their budget is:

The two bedrooms offer the most space with 840 to 1127 square feet and rental rates starting $2,335.

With location in mind, D.C. offers many apartments that have the luxury of walking out the door and just footsteps away from multiple dining and retail options.
