Types of apartment in Yakima, WA

Yakima apartments range from older brick walk-ups near Downtown and the North First Street area to newer garden-style apartments in West Valley and out by Terrace Heights. You also see small stucco fourplexes, low-rise buildings with open parking lots, and duplexes mixed into side streets. In Barge-Chestnut and around Franklin Park, many rentals sit in older houses that were split into units. Houses for rent often have simple ranch exteriors, carports, and fenced yards. Some older apartments have hardwood floors, baseboard heat, and smaller closets. Newer apartments often have vinyl floors, in-unit laundry, and more off-street parking.

The look changes by area. Near Downtown and Nob Hill, apartments often sit closer to the street and can have brick fronts, shared entries, and less private outdoor space. In West Valley, many apartments are in wider complexes with more surface parking and larger layouts. Around Terrace Heights and the east side, rentals can include more duplexes and single-story apartments. South and central Yakima have a mix of small apartment courts and older houses for rent. A common tradeoff is newer finishes versus a more central location near Yakima Avenue, Franklin Park, and the shops by Nob Hill Boulevard.
