Arlington County sits directly across the Potomac River from Washington, DC, and is one of the most transit-connected places in the region. The Orange and Silver Lines run through Rosslyn, Court House, Clarendon, Virginia Square, and Ballston, and the Blue and Yellow Lines serve Pentagon City, Crystal City, and National Airport.
That transit shaped the county’s growth. High-rise condos, apartments, and offices cluster around the Metro stations, while the surrounding neighborhoods hold garden-style apartments, townhouses, and single-family homes ranging from early-20th-century bungalows and Colonials to mid-century houses and new construction.
Arlington has an extensive park and trail network, including the Custis, W&OD, and Mount Vernon Trails, and strong local retail and dining in each of its urban villages. Reagan National Airport, the Pentagon, and downtown DC are all minutes away.
Arlington gives buyers a choice between Metro-adjacent condo living and quieter residential streets, with some of the shortest commutes in the region.
