The theme in both the national and DC-area rental market of late has been the steady rise in apartment rents over the last year. A new report sheds a bit more light on how much rents have risen at the top of the market.
Delta Associates released their second quarter Class A apartment report for the DC region this week. Class A apartments are typically large buildings built after 1991, with full amenity packages.
