A Practical Arlington Foothold with Full-Service HOA Coverage

The residence at 2509 Walter Reed Drive South offers a straightforward entry into Arlington’s ownership market. At 755 square feet across two bedrooms and one full bath, the floor plan is efficient without feeling constrained. The building dates to 1950 and carries the structural character of mid-century Arlington construction.

The HOA package here is notably comprehensive. Water, trash, snow removal, exterior building maintenance, insurance, pool access, parking fees, and reserve fund contributions are all included — a meaningful offset against the monthly cost of ownership. Buyers focused on total cost of ownership will find this structure worth examining closely.

Nauck is an established Arlington neighborhood with direct access to the Pentagon City and Crystal City corridors. Local dining, grocery options, and neighborhood parks are within reach, and the area connects efficiently to the broader Northern Virginia transit and highway network.

A Wardman team member and the Wardman Residential team at Compass have worked with buyers across Arlington’s diverse submarket, from the Pentagon City high-rise corridor to established neighborhoods like Nauck and Shirlington. We understand the nuances of condo ownership in this part of Northern Virginia — HOA structure, resale dynamics, and how to evaluate value relative to comparable inventory. If you are considering a condo purchase in Arlington, reach out and we would be glad to share recent comparables and our perspective on the submarket.

The Residence
The residence delivers two bedrooms and one full bath within 755 square feet. The 1950 construction date places it among Arlington’s mid-century condominium stock — a category that tends to offer larger rooms relative to square footage than more recent builds. Assigned parking accompanies the unit.
HOA Coverage
The HOA covers an unusually broad range of expenses: water, trash, snow removal, exterior building maintenance, insurance, pool access, parking fees, and reserve funds. For buyers modeling total monthly housing costs, this level of coverage meaningfully reduces variable ownership expenses beyond the base mortgage payment.
The Neighborhood
Nauck sits in the southern arc of Arlington County, bordered by the Pentagon City and Shirlington corridors. The neighborhood offers access to Route 1 retail, local dining, and green space, while remaining well-connected to the broader Northern Virginia highway and transit network. Pentagon City Metro is accessible via a short drive or bus connection.
Wardman Expertise
A Wardman team member and the Wardman Residential team at Compass bring focused experience in Arlington condo transactions, including properties along the Walter Reed Drive corridor and the broader Nauck and Shirlington submarkets. We help buyers evaluate HOA structures, assess comparable sales, and navigate the full purchase process with clarity.
