A Century of Arlington History on Randolph Street South

The home at 1508 Randolph Street South stands as one of Arlington’s older residential structures, built in 1900 and situated in the 22204 zip code — a corridor that connects Columbia Pike’s commercial energy with the quieter residential blocks running south toward Shirlington.

Three bedrooms and two full baths provide a practical floor plan, while the paved driveway addresses one of the most consistent concerns for buyers in this part of Arlington: reliable off-street parking on a residential street with limited curb availability.

The surrounding neighborhood places daily needs within close reach. Columbia Pike’s grocery options, restaurants, and service businesses are accessible without a car, and the Pentagon City and Pentagon Metro stations on the Blue and Yellow lines offer a direct connection to downtown DC and Reagan National Airport.

At $641,000, this home enters the market at a price point that reflects both its historic character and its position in a Northern Virginia submarket where single-family inventory remains constrained.

Historic Arlington Character
The home dates to 1900, placing it among Arlington’s earliest surviving residential structures. That age carries architectural character that newer construction in the 22204 corridor does not replicate. The Randolph Street South address sits within a walkable grid that connects to Columbia Pike and the broader South Arlington network.
Practical Floor Plan
Three bedrooms and two full baths define a floor plan suited to a range of uses. The paved driveway is a tangible asset in a neighborhood where off-street parking is not guaranteed. Together, these elements form a functional baseline that buyers in this price range will find difficult to match in comparable Arlington inventory.
Columbia Pike Proximity
Columbia Pike runs as one of Arlington’s most active commercial corridors, placing grocery stores, cafes, and neighborhood restaurants within easy reach of Randolph Street South. The area’s walkability reduces car dependency for daily errands, and the proximity to Pentagon City adds a major retail and transit hub to the home’s practical geography.
Constrained Single-Family Supply
Single-family homes in the 22204 zip code trade infrequently relative to demand, and the supply of century-old structures with off-street parking is particularly limited. The $641,000 price reflects that scarcity. Buyers evaluating this home should consider it within the context of a submarket where detached inventory moves quickly when priced at market.

Property Location

About 1508 Randolph St S

The home at 1508 Randolph Street South was built in 1900, making it one of the older single-family structures in South Arlington’s residential grid. The three-bedroom, two-bath layout offers a straightforward configuration across a detached footprint. The paved driveway provides off-street parking, a feature that carries real practical value on a residential street where curb space is shared and limited.

Randolph Street South sits within the 22204 zip code, a South Arlington corridor anchored by Columbia Pike to the north and bordered by the Shirlington area to the southeast. The neighborhood’s street grid is walkable, with daily retail, dining, and service options along Columbia Pike accessible without a vehicle. Pentagon City lies a short distance away, adding a major commercial and transit node to the home’s immediate geography.

The Columbia Pike corridor has long served as South Arlington’s primary commercial spine, with a concentration of grocery options, independent restaurants, and neighborhood cafes within walking distance of Randolph Street South. The Pentagon City and Pentagon Metro stations on the Blue and Yellow lines place downtown Washington and Reagan National Airport within a direct commute. The surrounding residential blocks offer a lower-density counterpoint to the Pike’s activity, with tree-lined streets and an established neighborhood fabric.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

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

The home was built in 1900, making it over 120 years old. Buyers should anticipate that systems, structure, and finishes may reflect multiple renovation eras. A thorough home inspection is strongly recommended, and buyers should budget for potential updates to mechanical, electrical, or plumbing systems consistent with a home of this age.
The property includes a paved driveway, providing off-street parking for residents. In the 22204 corridor of South Arlington, where on-street parking is shared among dense residential blocks, a dedicated driveway is a meaningful practical asset and a feature that not all comparable homes in the area offer.
The Pentagon City and Pentagon Metro stations on the Blue and Yellow lines are the closest Metro access points to Randolph Street South. Both stations provide direct service to downtown Washington and Reagan National Airport, making this home well-positioned for commuters relying on rail transit.
The 22204 zip code covers a dense, walkable section of South Arlington anchored by the Columbia Pike corridor. It is characterized by a mix of older single-family homes, mid-century apartment buildings, and newer infill development. Single-family detached inventory in this zip code is limited relative to demand, which has historically supported price stability.
Columbia Pike runs as South Arlington’s primary commercial spine and is accessible on foot from Randolph Street South. Grocery stores, restaurants, cafes, and service businesses line the corridor. The Shirlington area, known for its concentration of dining and entertainment options, is also within close proximity.
No HOA information is associated with this property. As a detached single-family home, it is not subject to condominium or townhouse association governance. Buyers should confirm the absence of any recorded covenants or deed restrictions with their title attorney during the due diligence process.
Detached single-family homes built before 1910 are rare in Arlington’s housing stock, and fewer still come to market with off-street parking in walkable South Arlington locations. This home combines historic character, a practical floor plan, and a paved driveway at a price point that reflects the current constraints on single-family supply in the 22204 corridor.
