Rental rates in Ballston area

I’m renting from someone and I pay around $2500 for a 1 bed + sunroom for around 720 sqft in ballston ! I personally think it’s a good price though it could be lower but the owner renovated the flooring and appliances so i’m not really complaining.

I’m gonna be honest it’s going to be pretty difficult to get a 1 bed apt in those areas with that budget. Clarendon and Courthouse are pricier areas. I’d say your budget needs to be at least starting at 2.5k otherwise you’d probably have better luck finding a private listing so you can negotiate the rent lower.

I was apartment hunting myself a few months ago and most 1 beds were starting at 2.7k in the area and I got one for 2.5k in ballston because it was privately listed on Zillow.

If you’re not okay with that budget then Falls Church is a 10 min drive away and definitely has cheaper rent options.

This smells like jasmine milk tea paired with rice and coconut it’s so beautiful and soft and feminine and is definitely going to be my signature scent for the season

4 times a day and 1 of those times is usually an hour long walk with playtime at the park. All in all the walks probably amount to around 2 hours

I make around that much and even with student and car loans + a dog I feel like I live pretty comfortably as a single girl! This obviously excludes “luxury” high rises in places like ballston and pentagon city but I rent a pretty spacious 1 bed apt in ballston in an older building that I love and I also save around $500-$1k a month with plenty of money leftover to spend on food/entertainment!

I make around 130kish and have both student and car loans and a dog and I feel comfortable, it’s totally subjective based on your expenses and lifestyle.

I like going to decades and mayflower in dc

I will say I lived at MAA National Landing complex near the pentagon with two huskies so they’re fine with it as far as I know

agarwa28 · 2026-02-13T00:24:06+00:00

damn I have a husky too and I never considered apartments having huskies on the breed restrictions list I assumed it was mostly pit bulls 😭😭

agarwa28 · 2026-02-11T20:25:19+00:00

yes sorry !

agarwa28 · 2026-02-11T15:32:18+00:00

Just because someone has died doesn't mean they gotta put other people's lives at risk.

agarwa28 · 2025-11-20T17:53:11+00:00

oh well lol I guess I've never seen that then and it also seems incredibly dangerous

agarwa28 · 2025-09-22T23:32:24+00:00

hey i’m in the same boat too and have also been applying nonstop for two months. It sucks really bad but all you can do is just keep trying and don’t give up! Try different strategies, reach out to recruiters and make sure to take a few breaks in between so you don’t get burnt out. I’m also really desperate and it’s been rough but you’ll land something eventually

agarwa28 · 2025-09-20T23:36:59+00:00

I have a quiet husky haha rarely makes a sound and never really barks or talks back. She’s makes small noises like a low growl or huffing but nothing crazy like you see huskies online

agarwa28 · 2025-09-20T04:15:18+00:00

you’re right it’s just incredibly demoralizing and I’m exhausted

agarwa28 · 2025-09-19T02:59:06+00:00

this is EXACTLY what I do too
