A Pre-War Home in the Heart of North Arlington

Built in 1929, the home at 2201 20th Street North stands as one of the older single-family residences along this established North Arlington streetscape. Its three-bedroom, one-bath layout spans 1,237 square feet — a compact but functional footprint that reflects the craftsmanship and proportions of its era.

The 22201 zip code is among Arlington’s most centrally positioned, placing this home within the Clarendon-Virginia Square corridor where urban convenience and residential character coexist. Free parking is included with the property, a practical advantage in a neighborhood where walkability and transit access are primary draws.

For buyers seeking a pre-war single-family home in North Arlington — a property type that rarely comes to market in this condition and location — 2201 20th Street North presents a compelling case. The home’s age, address, and structural character distinguish it from the newer construction that dominates much of the surrounding submarket.

Pre-War Construction
The home was built in 1929, placing it among a small cohort of pre-war single-family structures still standing in North Arlington. Properties of this vintage carry a distinct architectural character — proportioned rooms, period detailing, and a streetscape presence that newer construction rarely replicates.
Functional Floor Plan
Three bedrooms and one full bath are arranged across 1,237 square feet. The layout is efficient without feeling constrained, offering a livable configuration that suits a range of uses and furnishing approaches.
Prime 22201 Address
The 22201 zip code places this home squarely within the Clarendon-Virginia Square corridor, one of Arlington’s most walkable and transit-accessible addresses. Local dining, retail, parks, and Metro access are all within reach of the front door.
Parking Included
Free parking is included with the property — a tangible convenience in a neighborhood where street parking can be competitive. The residential lot is consistent with the established character of 20th Street North, offering outdoor space alongside the home’s interior square footage.

Property Location

About 2201 20th St N

The home at 2201 20th Street North was built in 1929 and retains the single-family form that defines the established streetscape of this North Arlington block. At 1,237 square feet, the three-bedroom, one-bath layout is compact by contemporary standards but well-proportioned for its era. Free parking is included with the property, adding everyday practicality to the home’s residential appeal.

The Clarendon-Virginia Square corridor is one of Arlington’s most walkable and transit-connected stretches, anchored by the Orange and Silver Line Metro stations that serve the area. The 22201 zip code encompasses a dense mix of local dining, neighborhood retail, parks, and civic amenities — all accessible without a car. The residential streets running north of Wilson Boulevard, including 20th Street North, offer a quieter counterpoint to the commercial energy of the corridor below.

Day-to-day life along this stretch of North Arlington is defined by proximity — to Metro, to local cafes and restaurants, to neighborhood parks and green space. The home’s pre-war construction gives it a character that stands apart from the newer townhouse and condo developments that have reshaped much of the surrounding area. Buyers drawn to single-family living within walking distance of Arlington’s urban core will find few options at this address and price point.

A Wardman team member and the Wardman Residential team at Compass have worked extensively with single-family homes across North Arlington, including the Clarendon and Virginia Square submarkets where pre-war inventory is limited and buyer competition remains active. We understand the nuances of the 22201 market — from lot values and renovation considerations to how older single-family homes are priced relative to newer construction. If you are exploring North Arlington real estate or considering a similar home in this corridor, reach out — we are glad to share recent comparables and our perspective on the submarket.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

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

Pre-war single-family homes in the 22201 zip code are uncommon. Most of the housing stock added to the Clarendon-Virginia Square corridor in recent decades consists of condominiums and townhouse developments. A detached 1929 home on a residential lot represents a distinct and limited property type in this submarket.
No HOA or condo association is associated with this home. It is a detached single-family property, meaning there are no monthly association fees, shared amenity assessments, or condo board governance. Buyers retain full ownership and control of the structure and lot.
The home is positioned in the Clarendon-Virginia Square corridor, placing it within walking distance of Metro stations on the Orange and Silver Lines. Both the Virginia Square-GMU and Clarendon stations serve the immediate area, providing direct access to downtown DC, Rosslyn, and points throughout the region.
Free parking is included with the property. In a neighborhood as walkable and transit-oriented as this stretch of North Arlington, dedicated off-street parking is a practical advantage that many nearby condominiums and row houses cannot offer. It adds flexibility for residents who own a vehicle.
Buyers should conduct a thorough home inspection to assess the current condition of the structure, systems, and finishes. Homes of this vintage often present opportunities for renovation and personalization. A qualified inspector and, where relevant, a contractor familiar with pre-war construction can help buyers understand the scope of any updates.
Newer construction in the Clarendon-Virginia Square corridor is predominantly multi-unit — condominiums and attached townhouses. This home offers a detached single-family footprint, no shared walls, no association fees, and the architectural character of 1929 construction. Those distinctions are meaningful for buyers who prioritize privacy and ownership structure.
The 22201 zip code is one of Arlington’s most walkable addresses. Local dining, grocery, retail, parks, and Metro access are all within reach on foot. The home sits on a residential street north of the Wilson Boulevard commercial corridor, offering neighborhood quiet alongside urban convenience.
The Wardman Residential team at Compass has direct experience with North Arlington single-family homes and the Clarendon-Virginia Square submarket. We can provide recent comparable sales, context on pre-war home values in the 22201 zip code, and guidance on the buying process. Reach out to start the conversation.
