Overview

Arlington’s low vacancy rate can make it difficult for families with limited financial resources to find housing. However, affordable housing is available at numerous apartment complexes in Arlington. Most of the complexes listed below were built, acquired or renovated with public funds as part of their financing, or else had units set aside as affordable through a special exception site plan process.
