Best D.C. Apartments for Car-Free Living

Having a car in DC can be a gigantic pain!! Rush hour is a 24-hour occurrence, parking is maddening {and expensive}, Motorcades can make even the most punctual person late and let’s not even discuss going to the DMV.  Luckily, DC is also a very easy city to live a car-free lifestyle!  Even more so now that Uber has added electric assist bikes to your rental options.  For $2 you can hop on an electric power-assisted bike for 30 minutes!

Even with all the car-free travel options, you still need to pick the right apartment.  And once again, Apartminty did the work for you.  Check out our list of the 7 best apartments for living a car-free lifestyle.

Hampton Court

Agora

800 New Jersey Ave SE
Washington, DC 20003

With forty plus restaurants already in the Capitol Riverfront neighborhood and new establishments arriving every day, it’s no wonder this neighborhood was named one of the “12 Coolest Neighborhoods in the World” by Forbes magazine. Capitol Riverfront is home to the Nationals Baseball Team and DC United professional soccer team.  It has acres of parks, splash zones, ice skating and free fitness classes *every* day of the week.  Living at Agora puts you two blocks from the Navy  Yard Green line and six blocks to Capitol South {Blue, Orange, and Silver lines}. A HUGE additional bonus, Whole Foods is opening on the ground floor of Agora this fall!

Flats 130

NoMa is also home to Union Station-both a metro and Amtrack hub, putting New York, Philly, and Baltimore, just a train ride away.
