Arlington Village
Arlington Village is very near and dear to my heart because it happens to be where I live and own two homes. Arlington Village is a townhome condominium community located on 42 acres in Arlington, Virginia. Originally built as apartments between 1939 and 1941, Arlington Village Townhouse Condominium was established in 1981 and consists of 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom townhomes. Arlington Village was designated in 2008 in Arlington County’s Historic Registry, and includes a large wooded area with a creek; a designated wildlife Habitat.
It contains 657 contributing buildings (including 656 apartment units). Fun fact the area was originally constructed in 1939, and is a planned garden style townhouse condo community that incorporates recreational areas, open spaces, a swimming pool and courtyards within five superblocks.
Walking distance to EVERYTHING on Columbia Pike, this neighborhood is in high demand and we’ve seen a great amount of home value appreciation over the last 3years! Arlington Village has a ton of amenities as well, which include a pool, tennis court, community room, and walking trails. This community could not be more picturesque, every street is lined with mature trees and greenery. It’s truly the best of both worlds! Come discover more of this hidden gem of a neighborhood!
Arlington
The name Arlington is synonymous in many people’s minds with Arlington National Cemetery, the most famous national cemetery in the United States. Veterans from all the nation’s wars are buried in the cemetery, as are two former Presidents (John F. Kennedy and William Howard Taft). Also located in Arlington are the Pentagon, headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, and several notable memorials, including the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial (also known as the “Iwo Jima Memorial”), the U.S. Air Force Memorial, and the Women in Military Service for America Memorial.
South Arlington
South Arlington is made up of four different zip codes; the dividing line between North and South Arlington is Route 50 (Arlington Blvd.). Situated right between the border of Pentagon City and Bailey's Crossroads, Columbia Pike is a major residential hub in Arlington, Virginia, serving a quarter of the Arlington population. South Arlington’s Columbia Pike neighborhoods have seen a huge appreciation in the last few year’s for it’s close proximity to AMAZON HQ2, Reagan National Airport and D.C. Those neighborhoods include Penrose, Arlington Heights, Alcova Heights, Columbia Heights, Columbia Heights West, Columbia Forest, Douglas Park and Barcroft.
Just up the road from the Columbia Pike neighborhoods are Fairlington, The Windgate and Shirlington neighborhoods (22206 zip code). One of my personal favorite communities is Fairlington. The community was originally built in 1944 for military housing and was converted to condos in the 1970s, so all of the 3,500+ units you’ll find here are in the Colonial style. There’s a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartment-style condos, as well as two-and three-bedroom townhouse-style condos. Fairlington has INCREDIBLE amenities, including 12 pools, 2 community centers, multiple tennis courts and is walking distance to downtown Shirlington!
South Arlington is a super active community with tons of walking and biking trails, dog parks and restaurants to check out!
