If you have been renting in Washington DC and watching your rent go up every year while your apartment stays the same size, you are not alone. More and more DC renters are making the move to Forestville, MD, and once they do, most say the same thing: they wish they had done it sooner.
Here is why Forestville, Maryland is becoming one of the most popular destinations for people leaving DC rentals.
1. You Get Significantly More Space for the Money
The average one-bedroom apartment in Washington DC can easily top $2,200 per month for 600 square feet. In Forestville, MD, you can rent a renovated one-bedroom with 750 to 825 square feet at a fraction of that cost, and some floor plans include a balcony. For a two or three-bedroom, the difference is even more dramatic.
At District at Forestville Apartments, floor plans range from 1BR/1BA at 750 sq ft all the way up to 3BR/1.5BA at 1,100 sq ft. That is real living space, not a closet with a kitchen.
2. DC Is Still Right There
Forestville sits just outside the Capital Beltway (I-495) in Prince George's County, Maryland. Downtown DC is roughly 10 to 15 miles away. Whether you drive, take Metro, or use a combination, you are not giving up access to the city. You are just not paying DC prices to live near it.
3. Renovated Apartments Without the Premium Price Tag
One of the biggest misconceptions about moving out of DC is that you have to settle for older, outdated units. Not here. District at Forestville features renovated interiors with:
- White shaker cabinets and granite countertops
- Stainless steel appliances including gas range and dishwasher
- Hardwood-style LVP flooring
- Private balconies with tree views
- Spacious walk-in closets
4. A Quieter, Greener Environment
Forestville, MD offers something most DC neighborhoods simply cannot: green space. Tree-lined streets, less noise, and a calmer pace of life make a real difference when you are coming home at the end of a long day. The community at District at Forestville reflects that, with landscaped grounds and a welcoming residential feel.
5. Ideal for Government and Federal Workers
Prince George's County is home to a large community of federal government employees, contractors, and military personnel. With Joint Base Andrews just a short drive away and easy access to key federal agencies in DC, Forestville is a practical, affordable home base for government workers who need to stay close to the capital.
