7 Apartments for Rent with Washer-Dryers

Troy is located about 50 miles south of Montgomery in the southeastern portion of the state. Because of its location, Troy has mild winters, and yes, you guessed it, incredibly hot and humid Southern summers. Proximity to the Gulf also means that it has been hit by its fair share of hurricanes, including Katrina, Opal, and Ivan.

Home to Troy University, a public four-year institution, Troy definitely has a college town vibe. Though Troy students tend be less rowdy than at larger state schools, the 7,000 students do help to diversify the city’s culture, population, and rental market.

The Lockheed Martin Operational Facility, located to the far north of the city center, has contributed to the large population boom in Troy. From 2000 to 2010, the population increased by nearly 30%, or about 4,000 residents. This has also brought new development to the city in the form of upscale apartment rental complexes, box stores, shops, and chain restaurants.

Troy’s best qualities are its low cost of living and generally good safety reputation. Because of these assets, you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding cheap apartments throughout all of Troy’s great, safe neighborhoods.

You’ll find the most apartments for rent in the southeast of the city center, around Troy University’s campus. If you’re looking for studio apartments and short term lease deals, then this area will be your best bet, particularly in the area north of campus. In addition, many of the apartments for rent in this area offer great amenities, such as a swimming pool, gym, and clubhouse. Unfortunately you’ll have to pay for proximity to Troy’s number one attraction. Two bedroom apartments around campus generally range from $750 - $900.

If you’re looking for something a bit more family-friendly than the student-heavy campus area, check out the neighborhoods far south of the city center. Here you’ll find apartments, duplexes, condominiums, and townhomes in newer, luxury developments. Some of these developments also have furnished apartments for rent. Additionally, you can find a few rental homes in this area. Two bedroom rental properties around here generally range from $650 - $850.

Locating a pet friendly rental in Troy can be a bit hit or miss. Many of the student housing complexes have strict "no pet" policies. However, with a little time (and extra money for the additional pet deposit) you’ll be sure to find a great apartment that is both cat and dog friendly.

So, welcome to Troy! Enjoy all that this thriving little college town has to offer! See more

Finding apartments with a washer and dryer in Troy offers more freedom and flexibility to your weekends. Throwing in the laundry before work or a Saturday afternoon bike ride and finishing it up later is inconvenient, if not impossible, without your own set-up.

There are a few things to keep in mind while looking for apartments with a washer and dryer in Troy. Ask how old the appliances are before you sign. A washer and dryer over 10-years-old may need to be serviced regularly or have an expired warranty. You should also ask the property management who services the washer and dryer. Some leases stipulate that the landlord will pay for repairs to an essential appliance like oven or refrigerator, but require the tenant to service the washer and dryer.

Finding apartments with a washer and dryer in Troy can go quickly, so come prepared with your bank statements, pay stubs, identification, and letters of recommendation to sign your new lease.
