What Just Under $1,500 a Month Rents You in DC: Figure 1

A One-Bedroom in an English Basement Off Observatory Circle

This 675 square foot, furnished one-bedroom in Glover Park is a block from Whole Foods and not far from Georgetown. It’s in an English basement, though windows in every room help offset the limited light. The unit has a washer and dryer, and wireless internet is included in the rent, but the landlord will not tolerate smoking.

An English Basement in Shaw

This one-bedroom in a Shaw rowhouse is a little more updated than the listing above, though at just 420 square feet it’s also a lot smaller. The unit has a washer and dryer in the closet and the kitchen opens onto the living space. The apartment’s best attribute is likely its location — walking distance to the neighborhood’s restaurants and about four blocks from Logan Circle.

A Renovated Unit in Trinidad

You’ll get the biggest bang for your buck in this renovated unit in Trinidad, which measures out at 560 square feet and looks like it’s above-ground. The unit has a fully updated kitchen with new appliances. The building is about a block from Gallaudet University and a short walk to Union Market.
