Two Bedrooms, Two Baths in the Core of Ballston

Unit 305 at 231 Thomas Street North is a two-bedroom, two-bath residence situated in the Ballston neighborhood of Arlington — one of the most active and well-connected submarkets in Northern Virginia. The residence was built in 2005 and offers 840 square feet of interior space with an assigned parking space included.

The HOA structure here is notably comprehensive. Water, trash, fiber optic connectivity, exterior building and lawn maintenance, snow removal, insurance, management, and reserve fund contributions are all covered — leaving owners with a simplified monthly cost picture and minimal surprise expenses.

Ballston’s position along the Orange and Silver lines makes it a natural anchor for those who commute into DC or throughout the broader Metro corridor. The neighborhood supports a dense mix of retail, dining, and everyday services within easy reach of the building.

At $360,000, this residence represents a competitive entry into a submarket where two-bath configurations at this price are increasingly scarce. The combination of included parking, broad HOA coverage, and Metro proximity gives this unit a practical profile that holds up well against comparable inventory.

Property Location

About 231 Thomas St N #305

The residence at 231 Thomas Street North, Unit 305, is a third-floor condominium offering two bedrooms and two full baths within 840 square feet. Built in 2005, the layout provides a functional separation of the two bedroom suites — each served by its own full bath — which is a meaningful distinction in this size range. An assigned parking space is deeded with the unit, eliminating the uncertainty common in many urban condo purchases.

Ballston is one of Arlington’s most established urban nodes, anchored by the Ballston Metro station on the Orange and Silver lines. The neighborhood supports a walkable mix of grocery options, restaurants, fitness facilities, and everyday retail concentrated along Wilson Boulevard and the surrounding blocks. Virginia Square and Clarendon are immediately adjacent, extending the range of dining and services accessible without a car.

Residents of this building benefit from HOA coverage that removes several common ownership burdens — exterior maintenance, lawn care, snow removal, and water are all managed at the building level. Fiber optic connectivity is included in the HOA, a practical amenity that eliminates a recurring monthly bill. The Ballston corridor’s density of transit options, walkable retail, and nearby parks supports a range of daily routines without reliance on a vehicle.
