Penrose, Arlington VA

Established Townhouse in Penrose at a Compelling Entry Price

The Penrose neighborhood of Arlington has long offered a grounded alternative to the higher-density corridors closer to the Potomac. This two-bedroom townhouse, built in 1939, sits within that context — a modest footprint with genuine utility and a HOA structure that absorbs many of the costs that typically burden first-time or value-oriented buyers.

At 994 square feet across two bedrooms and one full bath, the home is efficiently scaled. The 1939 construction gives it a character distinct from the area’s newer infill development, and the association’s all-in coverage — exterior maintenance, water, sewer, parking, pool, trash, and snow removal — meaningfully reduces the variable cost of ownership.

Pentagon City Metro provides regional connectivity, and the surrounding Penrose area offers walkable access to everyday services. At $145,000, this is among the more accessible price points available in Arlington proper.

The Property
Built in 1939, this two-bedroom townhouse in Penrose offers 994 square feet of living space. The structure carries the architectural character of its era, set within an established Arlington neighborhood that has maintained its residential scale over decades.
HOA Coverage
The HOA package here is unusually comprehensive. Exterior building maintenance, water, sewer, trash, snow removal, parking fees, pool access, insurance, and reserve fund contributions are all covered — reducing the unpredictability of monthly housing costs for the owner.
Location Context
Penrose sits in south Arlington, with Pentagon City Metro providing access to the broader regional transit network. Everyday services, neighborhood dining, and local parks are reachable without a car, and the area connects readily to both DC and the broader Northern Virginia corridor.
The Opportunity
At $145,000, this home represents one of the lower available price points in Arlington. For buyers seeking a foothold in the county with manageable carrying costs and strong HOA coverage, the value proposition here is worth examining closely.

Property Location

About 1301 Cleveland St S #349

At 994 square feet, the layout is compact but functional, with a scale suited to owners who prioritize location and cost efficiency over square footage. The 1939 construction distinguishes the property from the area’s newer development, offering a character that reflects the neighborhood’s longer residential history.

Penrose is a south Arlington neighborhood with a low-rise residential character and proximity to the Pentagon City corridor. The area offers walkable access to everyday services and sits within reach of the broader Northern Virginia employment base. Its position in the 22204 zip code places it among the more accessible parts of Arlington from a price-per-square-foot standpoint, while still benefiting from the county’s infrastructure and transit network.

Day-to-day life in Penrose is grounded in the practical conveniences of south Arlington — neighborhood grocers, local dining, and parks within reach on foot or by bike. Pentagon City Metro connects the area to downtown DC, the Pentagon, and points along the Blue and Yellow lines. The HOA’s coverage of snow removal, exterior maintenance, and trash collection further simplifies the ownership experience, leaving residents free to focus on the neighborhood rather than property upkeep.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

Key details about the residence, building, and location to help you evaluate this opportunity.

The association covers a broad range of expenses, including exterior building maintenance, water, sewer, trash, snow removal, parking fees, pool access, insurance, and reserve fund contributions. This scope meaningfully reduces the variable costs of ownership compared to properties where these expenses fall to the individual owner.
The specific monthly HOA fee amount was not provided in the listing data available to us. Buyers should request the current fee schedule, reserve fund study, and association financials directly from the seller or listing agent prior to making an offer.
Pentagon City Metro is the nearest station, serving the Blue and Yellow lines with direct connections to downtown DC, Reagan National Airport, and points throughout Northern Virginia. The exact walking distance should be confirmed by the buyer, but the station is accessible by transit from the Penrose neighborhood.
Penrose is a low-rise residential neighborhood in south Arlington, characterized by a mix of older housing stock and proximity to the Columbia Pike and Pentagon City commercial corridors. The area offers walkable access to everyday services and connects readily to the broader Northern Virginia and DC employment base via transit.
The HOA coverage explicitly includes parking fees, meaning the cost of parking is absorbed within the association structure rather than billed separately to the owner. Buyers should confirm the specific parking arrangement — assigned space, lot, or garage — with the listing agent.
At $145,000, this home represents one of the lower price points available in Arlington County, reflecting its modest square footage and the cooperative or association ownership structure common to properties in this range. Buyers should review the HOA documents carefully to understand any restrictions or underlying land arrangements that may apply.
Rental restrictions in HOA-governed properties vary significantly and are governed by the association’s bylaws and rules. Buyers intending to lease the property should request and review the full HOA governing documents, including any rental caps or owner-occupancy requirements, before proceeding.
A Wardman team member can provide recent comparable sales in Penrose and the broader south Arlington market, help contextualize the HOA structure relative to similar properties, and guide buyers through the due diligence process.
