Munson Hill Towers is a high-rise apartment complex located along Leesburg Pike and near public transportation options. Amenities include a pool and Jacuzzi, business center, fitness center, basketball and tennis courts, billiards room, picnic area with grills and playground.

“Renters are turning toward first-tier suburbs – the areas near major cities that offer a ‘live, work, play’ dynamic but at a more affordable cost – and investors are following suit,” Espenshade said in prepared remarks. “Munson Hill Towers is located near top employers and retailers and boasts plenty of upside potential.”
