How much does rent cost in Washington, DC and when is it cheapest?

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.

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.

What architectural styles are common in Washington, DC apartments?

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.
