Elevating the value-living experience
Elme Communities elevates the living experience for the value-conscious renter, delivering on reliability, service, and innovation.
Laying the groundwork toward a better industry
Today, we offer multifamily homes that support everyday life. With sensible commutes, proximity to retail and public transport, and friendly, respectful staff, we are invested in providing communities our residents are proud to call home.
Years of experience
60+
Founded in 1960, Elme Communities (then known as WashREIT) was the first Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) in the United States.
More recently, we observed a consistently underserved segment within the multifamily landscape—the value-conscious renter—and set about streamlining our portfolio to focus on this type of residential living. Firm in our belief that straight-forward communication, respectful service, and well-maintained communities are deserved by all—not those within a certain price point—we set out to elevate the value living experience.
