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.
At this price point, and with these updated or brand new amenities, you’ll need to be quick to sign for this apartment.
The owners recently remodeled their lower level to accommodate a 1,500-square-foot apartment, complete with new stainless steel kitchen appliances and a laundry room, which are so difficult to find in traditional apartment living.
The gourmet kitchen has granite counter tops, an oversized island, and ample storage. New wood flooring and carpet have also been installed for the ultimate in comfort and convenience. A special feature of the apartment is access to outdoor space. A charming screened porch allows for grilling and entertaining.
The apartment has private entrances and is conveniently located to access the Metro bus line 17B and K with express service to the Pentagon. One mile to the VRE train station offers an easy trip to Crystal City and Washington, D.C.
The rental price includes electricity, gas heat, water, trash, cable, and Verizon FIOS internet.
Sometimes a short-term job at the Pentagon is best served by a fully furnished apartment. This walkout basement apartment takes convenience to the next level. Packing only your personal effects and unpacking in about a day’s time is a relocation dream, not to mention a 1.5-mile trek to the Pentagon each day. 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.
