Orders to the Pentagon aren’t always on the traditional two- to three-year PCS rotation. In fact, it’s common to hear of orders for much shorter time frames, from several months to a year. Apartment living near the Pentagon or with easy access to a Metro stop becomes a very attractive option for military families who choose to live separately during the service member’s time in D.C.
The apartments featured as MilitaryByOwner’s Homes of the Week in Fairfax, Alexandria, and Arlington, Virginia are perfectly suited for geographically single military members.

Walk when it's beautiful outside and catch the local bus for a quick trip in the rain and cold.
Freshly painted with new carpet installed, the clean apartment lets in more light than a typical basement setup. Plenty of privacy and off-street parking adds to the list of amenities the renter will enjoy.
In addition to light housekeeping service performed biweekly, all of the utilities are included with the rent each month.
