Arlington’s low vacancy rate can make it difficult for families with limited financial resources to find housing. However, affordable housing is available at numerous apartment complexes in Arlington. Most of the complexes listed below were built, acquired or renovated with public funds as part of their financing, and therefore are required to set aside a certain number of affordable units. Some of the complexes listed below include units set aside as affordable as a community benefit through the special exception site plan process.
Tips for securing an Affordable Unit:
- This month’s list of available affordable units: February 2020
