Rooms for Rent Under $800 in Washington, DC

Finding a room under $800 in DC in 2026 is hard — most listings in desirable neighborhoods start higher, and that's before utilities. We keep three rooms under that line:

• Joey Room — $697/mo (14th St NW). Furnished 11'x11' room, free off-street parking, one block to Upshur Pool. The lowest-priced room we offer.
• Foxtrot Room — $797/mo (Petworth). Top-floor room with skylight, two huge windows, and built-in closet in a 6-bedroom house near Georgia Ave–Petworth Metro.
• Lincoln Room — $797/mo (Columbia Heights). Basement apartment room with in-unit washer/dryer, full kitchen access, private patio, and month-to-month terms (3-month minimum).

Do the full math

Rent isn't the whole picture. Our rooms add a flat $175/mo utilities fee (gas, water, electric, Fios internet/WiFi, monthly cleaning, laundry, furnished commons) — so a $697 room costs $872/month all-in, and a $797 room costs $972/month. Move-in is first month + utilities + one month's refundable deposit + the $48 screening. No hidden fees, ever.
