Richland Apartments and Rentals

Richland is located in southeastern Washington at the meeting of the Columbia and Yakima Rivers. Home to the famous Hanford site, the city has become popular for its abundant wildlife and beautiful views. Richland continues to climb in population, and in 2011, the city had approximately 49,500 residents. People enjoy all Richland has to offer with Richland apartments for rent.

The city started out as a small farming community, but in 1943, the population boomed when the government built the country’s first nuclear reactor on the Hanford site.

The Hanford site of the country’s first nuclear reactor still plays a major role in Richland’s economy. It advances science and technology in the area, and the Hanford Reach - the last free-flowing stretch of the Columbia River - is now a National Monument. Richland has even deeper roots in the country’s history because of the Lewis and Clark  Expedition, which made its way through the Tri-Cities area in 1805.

Richland offers a host of outdoor adventures, from motorsports at Horn Rapids ORV Park to biking its extensive trail system. But, Richland is not just for adventure-seekers - it’s perfect for families too. In 2012, Kiplinger named Richland as No. 2 in its list of the“10 Greatest Cities to Raise Your Kids.” Adults and children alike will enjoy the city’s fishing pond, splash park and 300 sunny days per year. Thrill-seekers and families can make the city their own with a rental in Richland.
