Choose an Apartment/Office of Housing and Residence Life ruler

Choosing an apartment - especially in a new, unfamiliar city - can be difficult and intimidating.  To help you narrow your choices, we've suggested some security questions, and a fire safety checklist to research and guide you through the leasing process.

Fortunately, Washington is rich in student housing.  The abundance of universities in the District ensures a quantity of affordable housing for students.  Most of our off-campus students don't have trouble finding housing, although it's usually easiest to find an apartment when you're actually visiting DC. 

Some of our students find apartments by combing through the local newspapers, and others find better luck just by walking around different neighborhoods and looking for "For Rent" signs in the windows. 

For those students who wish to search online, we've put together a list of links that might help you:

For additional informaiton and listings, please see the Georgetown University main campus off campus housing services web page.  We've also put together a list of local apartment communties, apartment communities within 25 minute walking distance to the law center, and real estate agencies who may be able to help you.  You may also want to find out what other tenants are saying about possible communities by researching the apartment ratings site.  There you will find comments, opinions, ratings and reviews from current tenants of selected communities.
