Nestled in the Kittitas Valley, Ellensburg combines small-town charm with a welcoming college community atmosphere. Located east of the Cascade Range at the junction of Interstate 90 and Interstate 82, this county seat of Kittitas County offers apartments for rent in various neighborhoods. Central Washington University adds to the community's educational and cultural landscape, while the surrounding agricultural region produces timothy hay that's exported worldwide.
Apartments for rent in Ellensburg provide easy access to the downtown district, where historic 19th-century buildings house local shops, restaurants, and art galleries. The city hosts several annual events, including the Ellensburg Rodeo (running since 1923), Winterhop Brewfest, and Jazz in the Valley music festival. With its semi-arid climate featuring four distinct seasons, residents can enjoy year-round outdoor activities in the nearby mountains and along the river.

Apartment Finder utilizes the industry's largest and most complete database of real-time rents and availabilities to help you find an amazing deal on your next rental.
Apartment communities change their rental rates often - sometimes multiple times a day. We track the changes and keep you up to date when a rental rate decreases.
"Best value" units are located in buildings rated three stars or higher. We label apartment rentals that are priced significantly less than similar high-quality units nearby.
Apartment communities regularly advertise deals for new residents. Whether it's a move-in special or a free tv, we locate the rentals that offer a little something extra when you sign your lease.
