South Arlington Condo with All-Inclusive HOA

The residence at 1521 S George Mason Dr #1 occupies a 1965 building in South Arlington, offering 687 square feet of single-level living with a straightforward one-bedroom, one-bath configuration. For buyers focused on cost predictability, the HOA structure here is a meaningful differentiator: electricity, gas, heat, air conditioning, water, trash, exterior building maintenance, road maintenance, and pool access are all folded into the monthly fee.

South Arlington’s 22204 zip code sits at a practical crossroads of the region, with Pentagon City and Crystal City to the east, Shirlington to the north, and the broader Northern Virginia corridor extending west. The area supports everyday living with neighborhood grocery options, local dining, and transit connections that reach central DC and the broader Metro system.

At $174,000, this residence represents one of the more accessible price points in the Arlington condominium market. The all-in HOA model means the true cost of ownership is more transparent than in buildings where utilities are billed separately, making it easier to compare against rental alternatives or higher-priced condos in the submarket.

The Residence
The residence spans 687 square feet across a one-bedroom, one-bath layout in a building constructed in 1965. The floor plan is efficient and well-defined, with a clear separation between living and sleeping areas. The building’s mid-century construction is characteristic of South Arlington’s established residential stock.
The HOA Value
The HOA package here is unusually comprehensive. Air conditioning, electricity, gas, heat, water, trash removal, exterior building maintenance, road maintenance, and community pool access are all included. For buyers evaluating true monthly cost, this structure removes significant variable expense from the equation.
The Location
South Arlington places residents within reach of Pentagon City, Shirlington, and the broader Northern Virginia network. Local dining, grocery options, and parks are accessible by foot or a short drive. Metro connectivity links the area to downtown DC and the region’s major employment centers.
The Opportunity
At $174,000, this is one of the more accessible entry points in the Arlington condo market. The combination of a low purchase price and an all-inclusive HOA creates a cost structure that compares favorably to renting in the same submarket. Buyers seeking Arlington’s location advantages without a premium price point will find this residence worth a close look.
