We typically offer a 12-month lease to provide stability for residents and the community. After that, many arrangements can transition to more flexible options with proper notice. We’ll walk you through current availability and timelines so you can plan your move with clarity.

Is the neighborhood truly walkable and bike-friendly?

Yes, and that’s part of what makes Del Ray special. Many residents use daily errands as an excuse to explore local eateries, fitness studios, and the farmers market. If you prefer two wheels, you’ll appreciate our bike racks and the easy access to Capital Bike Share.

We focus on practical upgrades that respect the building’s character. Energy Star appliances, low-VOC paints, recycling, and efficient windows can help support everyday comfort and responsible use. We’re happy to share how these choices translate into a better living experience year-round.
