Petersburg, VA Apartments for Rent

Petersburg, Virginia combines deep historical roots with contemporary living. Apartments for rent in Petersburg put you in a city that played a significant role in the Civil War, including the 292-day Siege of Petersburg. The walkable Old Towne district showcases preserved 18th and 19th-century architecture, local restaurants, and independent shops.
