The Huntington Club Apartamentos

from the parking lot. This complex was built in the late 1960's and is showing its age - the air conditioning can struggle on some of Virginia's most hot and humid summer days, but you get free access to a large, saltwater pool to make up for it. No need for a gym membership either - a small one-time fee will cover access to a small, but well-appointed workout room. The rooms are spacious with hardwood floors, meaning you'll never have to look up at the ugly mid-century ceiling tiles. The room has a balcony, with the handsome George Washington Masonic National Memorial prominently visible. The complex is quiet with helpful staff and a lot of families, and parking is always plentiful, even if you don't pay for a permit. Most of all, you'll get the satisfaction of paying a reasonable rent for the Washington, D.C. area.
