Apartment Choices in Old Greenbelt

Old Greenbelt is surprisingly affordable, especially its historic housing cooperative (GHI). If you can’t swing the required 10 percent down payment, are priced out of the single-family homes in Old Greenbelt, or just aren’t ready to buy, renting is still a great option for living close to all the action (Roosevelt Center, the Aquatic and Fitness Center, Community Center, the library, Old Greenbelt Theatre, grocery – all an easy walk from most of these apartments).

Tips for apartment-shoppers in Old Greenbelt

  • Information on this page about rents, pets etc. may have changed, so call and check.
  • If something opens up, try to see it that day and be ready to put the deposit down.
  • The most coveted apartments (for non-pet owners) are the Parkway Apartments owned and operated by the GHI because it’s helpful if you plan on buying some day.

A commenter wrote: Utilities included in rent (except cable/internet). Okay to have 2 dogs or cats (extra pet rent and deposit, weight limit for dogs). Basement storage available (extra fee), laundry on each floor but not in-unit. Mid-range price and amenities. Older concrete building means not too much noise transmission between floors, but the hall can be noisy. Two-pipe heating/cooling so the whole building switches from A/C to heat at the same time. Pros: quiet area next to lake; has enough parking; balconies. Cons: rent increases ~5% each year; maintenance comes out quickly but isn’t always that great at actually fixing things; if your neighbor smokes there will be smoke smell in your apartment through the hvac; basement storage room prone to water leaks.
