About this House
Private Basement Apartment for Rent Capital View SE Washington, DC
Available for rent is a private, self-contained basement apartment in the Capital View neighborhood of Washington, DC. The unit has its own private entrance and offers the comfort and functionality of an independent living space while being part of a well-maintained owner-occupied home.
The apartment includes:
One bedroom
One full bathroom
Kitchen with stove
Dedicated living area
Private entrance and exit
Shared washer and dryer
Ample street parking
Utilities included
The space is ideal for someone seeking privacy, independence, and a quiet living environment. While there are two residents living upstairs, the basement functions as its own separate unit. The only shared space is the laundry area.
About the household:
The homeowners are a professional woman (32) and her brother (27). Both maintain busy schedules and spend much of their time working, resulting in a calm and low-traffic household. This is not a communal living arrangement. We respect privacy and are looking for a tenant who values the same.
Ideal tenant:
Responsible and self-sufficient.
Maintains a clean and well-cared-for living space.
Appreciates a quiet environment.
Comfortable with a respectful, independent landlord-tenant relationship.
Looking for a home rather than a highly social living situation.
This is a great fit for a working professional, graduate student, or anyone seeking a private and comfortable home base in DC without the challenges of larger apartment buildings or shared housing arrangements.
Available now: a private basement apartment featuring one bedroom, one full bathroom, and a full kitchen. This unit is offered on a flexible month-to-month lease, no long-term commitment required. Tenants are expected to keep the unit clean and well-maintained day-to-day, with any additional needs or questions handled directly between landlord and tenant. Reach out to learn more or schedule a viewing.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf you report something to the administaration especially if you have an issue well then you need to be ready to be under attack and for administration to bully you and your child!!! Instead of solving the issue they try to make up issues or redirect the problem or they just never respond. In person or email! Bullying is the least of your worries at this school.Parent Review8y ago - C.W. Harris Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am a parent of an 8th grade Academy student and I think this school would be great if there were more visible authority figures, more qualified and quality instructors, and the school day wasn't spent trying to keep children in order, the school year has been extended so when the kids have breaks they students who are not in intersession have skill retention activities so that they don't lose what they've learned, and their summers shouldn't be shortened because in my opinion it's not how long they spend in school but the quality of what they're learning and qualifications of the instructors to be able to reach these students.Parent Review9y ago
