How This Building Performs

River Place East Market Performance & Ownership Profile

River Place East shares the complex’s core strengths: a Rosslyn location under two blocks from Metro, a co-op fee that includes utilities, and an on-site amenity package. The 2052 ground lease and co-op-lender financing shape the market, and most sales are studios at modest prices. Within the building, values turn on floor height and view, renovation level, studio versus one-bedroom layout, and whether a garage space is part of the sale.
  • Part of the gated River Place cooperative, opened in 1955
  • Co-op fee includes electricity, gas, heat, air conditioning, and water
  • Under two blocks to the Rosslyn Metro (Blue/Orange/Silver)
  • Ground lease ends in 2052; financing through approved co-op lenders

Market trends are based on recent sales activity and may vary by unit size, floor level, and condition.

Rosslyn

Rosslyn is Arlington’s high-rise district on the Potomac, directly across Key Bridge from Georgetown and a short hop from the Kennedy Center and downtown DC. Once primarily an office center, it now includes a significant number of residential towers alongside offices, hotels, and ground-floor retail.

Housing is almost entirely in mid- and high-rise buildings, many completed in the last few decades, with amenities such as fitness centers, concierge service, rooftop space, and garage parking. Upper floors in many buildings have views of the Potomac, Georgetown, and the monuments. A few older buildings offer larger layouts at lower prices per square foot.

Daily life mixes city convenience and river access. Restaurants and services cluster near the Metro, Gateway Park and Freedom Park provide open space, and the Mount Vernon Trail, Custis Trail, and Theodore Roosevelt Island are steps away for running and cycling.

Rosslyn station on the Orange, Blue, and Silver Lines is one stop from Foggy Bottom, and Key Bridge makes Georgetown a walk away. Route 50, I-66, and the George Washington Parkway meet at the neighborhood’s edges.

Rosslyn offers high-rise condo living with views, trails, and the shortest trip into DC of any Arlington neighborhood.
