“In the less than a year that I've been here there has been so many turnovers in who's in charge. Most have all been very pleasant but there's no consistency. I find the billing very very confusing. It should not be that hard to pay one's rent. There are about five apps that are pertaining to my rent and living here. The rent should be one bill in one place to pay. There are games on the app for rewards which just add to the confusion. I also don't think we should have to pay $25 for required valet service. I only have garbage maybe twice a week yet I'm forced to pay for it for the whole month. My apartment is nice and generally I don't have any complaints about my apartment. The pool gate is consistently jammed and one never knows if their key is going to work there or not. It's also very inconsistent with the emergency gates are open all the time and I was under the understanding they were to be closed. It seems the place has been here long enough that those little issues should be solved by now. Thank you”

Downtown Olympia

What it’s like to live in Downtown Olympia

Political energy defines Downtown Olympia, where historic buildings alongside the state capitol create distinctive character reflecting Washington's governmental heart. Residents enjoy walking access to both the waterfront boardwalk along Budd Inlet and the Olympia Farmers Market with its year-round local offerings. Though legislative sessions bring increased activity, the vibrant arts scene maintains creative energy regardless of political calendars. Many buildings feature unexpected views of both capitol campus and Olympic Mountains, creating distinctive living spaces where natural beauty complements urban convenience, while the walkable design means everyday necessities from groceries to entertainment remain accessible without cars despite the small-city setting.

South Westside

What it’s like to live in South Westside

South Westside offers affordable living with excellent highway access in southwestern Olympia. Rental homes typically include more yard space and square footage than similarly priced options closer to downtown or the capitol campus. While the neighborhood provides good access to both Evergreen State College and Auto Mall Drive shopping, some streets lack sidewalks despite the otherwise family-friendly atmosphere. Most suitable for students, state employees, and budget-conscious renters who prioritize housing value over walkable amenities or historic character, particularly those seeking strategic positioning between downtown Olympia and western destinations requiring highway access.

Olympia, WA

Welcome to Olympia, the scenic Washington state capital, the home to the haven for higher education at The Evergreen State College and a wonderful place. If you’re in the market for a great apartment but don’t know where to start, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s find you that rental so you can start living here!

Whether you’re looking for great outdoor activity, interesting art, or live bands, Olympia has really got it all. Outdoorsy types enjoy the proximity to beautiful forests, state parks and lakes, while art and music lovers can enjoy Olympia’s status as one of the Puget Sound’s cultural capitals. Evergreen State keeps the city lively, so there’s also plenty of nightlife to keep your after hours filled. Keep in mind, though, that the Pacific Northwest rains are no joke. Prepare to pack away your sunglasses for a solid five or so months of the year.

The rental market in Olympia is, well, competitive. Because Olympia is a fairly affordable and desirable city, locals snatch up many of the best rentals as soon as they hit the market, and you may have to go on a mile-long waiting list for the apartment of your dreams. Olympians love the locals, so if you have references in town you’ll be more likely to secure an apartment.

Many of the city’s apartment rentals are located to the north of the city center close to The Evergreen State College’s campus. Student demand has made many of these rentals more expensive.. However, if you’re looking for flexible leases and studio apartments for rent, this will be the best area for you. One bedrooms in this area generally range from $600-$800.

The neighborhoods to the east and west of the city center have a number of inexpensive apartments for rent in various types of buildings. Olympia is hemmed in to the south by the cities of Tumwater and Lacey and to the north by the Sound. The further south on the east side of town, the more suburban-type rentals you’ll find. Many of these places have amenities such as gyms and clubhouses. Rents here typically range from $700-$900 for a two bedroom.

Living in southern Olympia on the west side will put you close to the Capital State Forest, with 91,000-acres of protected land. Northwest Olympia is also a highly desirable area with several available rental homes. These neighborhoods tend to be more settled and dominated by homeowners. However, you can occasionally find great rental homes for $1200-$1400.

With so much to do outdoors, and so many animal-lovers, it’s no big surprise that finding a pet-friendly apartment in Olympia will be no sweat. Big, small and all sizes in between are generally welcome at most area rentals.

Welcome to Olympia! Though you may have to put up a good fight to secure your wonderful rental, there will be plenty in town to make you love your new home once you do. Good luck and happy hunting!
