Executive Summary

Set in the established Shirlington neighborhood of Arlington, this semi-detached home delivers 1,383 square feet of living space across two bedrooms and two full baths. Built in 1944, the property carries the structural character of mid-century Arlington while benefiting from an HOA that covers lawn maintenance, exterior building upkeep, pool access, sewer, water, trash, and snow removal. Priced at $555,000, it represents a low-maintenance ownership structure in one of Arlington’s most walkable and transit-accessible corridors.

Shirlington, Arlington VA

Mid-Century Semi-Detached Home in the Heart of Shirlington

The home at 4884 28th St S #B sits within the Shirlington neighborhood of Arlington, a compact and walkable village corridor recognized for its concentration of dining, arts, and everyday retail. Built in 1944, the semi-detached structure reflects the scale and proportion of mid-century Arlington residential development, offering a distinct alternative to the area’s newer condominium inventory.

At 1,383 square feet, the two-bedroom, two-bath layout provides meaningful living space for a price point of $555,000. The HOA structure is notably comprehensive, covering exterior building maintenance, lawn care, pool access, sewer, water, trash, snow removal, road maintenance, and reserve fund contributions — reducing the unpredictability of ongoing ownership costs.

Shirlington’s position in Arlington places it within practical reach of the broader Northern Virginia employment corridor, with access to I-395 and proximity to Pentagon City and the broader DC Metro network. The neighborhood’s walkable village center adds daily convenience without requiring a car for most errands or evenings out.

For buyers evaluating low-maintenance ownership in an established Arlington neighborhood, this home presents a structurally differentiated option — semi-detached construction with outdoor space, pool access, and a full HOA umbrella at a competitive price relative to comparable Arlington inventory.

The Property
The semi-detached home at 4884 28th St S #B offers 1,383 square feet of living space in Shirlington, Arlington. Two bedrooms and two full baths occupy a structure built in 1944, giving the property a scale and character uncommon in the area’s newer residential inventory.
HOA Structure
The HOA covers an unusually broad range of expenses: exterior building maintenance, lawn care, pool access, sewer, water, trash, snow removal, road maintenance, and reserve fund contributions. This structure significantly reduces the variable costs associated with ownership and simplifies long-term budgeting.
Location Context
Shirlington sits at a practical crossroads in Arlington, with direct access to I-395 and proximity to the Pentagon City Metro corridor. The neighborhood’s walkable village center places dining, retail, and everyday services within easy reach, reducing car dependency for daily routines.
Buyer Consideration

The combination of low-maintenance ownership and established neighborhood character is relatively rare at this price point in Arlington.

Property Location

About 4884 28th St S #B

The home at 4884 28th St S #B is a semi-detached residence built in 1944, offering 1,383 square feet across two bedrooms and two full baths. The semi-detached configuration provides a structural middle ground between a freestanding single-family home and a condominium, with shared-wall construction on one side and independent exterior exposure on the other. The property includes unassigned parking and is governed by an HOA that manages exterior maintenance, lawn care, pool access, and a range of utility and operational expenses.

Shirlington is one of Arlington’s most recognizable neighborhood identities, anchored by a walkable village center that concentrates dining, retail, and arts venues along a pedestrian-friendly corridor. The neighborhood occupies the southern portion of Arlington County, bordered by I-395 to the east and Four Mile Run to the north, giving it a defined geographic character within the broader county. Its position provides practical access to the Pentagon City and Crystal City employment and transit nodes, as well as direct highway connectivity toward Alexandria and the broader Northern Virginia corridor.

Day-to-day life in Shirlington centers on the village’s walkable amenities, which include a range of dining options, a grocery anchor, and neighborhood parks along Four Mile Run. The HOA’s coverage of lawn maintenance and exterior upkeep removes a significant layer of ongoing responsibility from the homeowner, allowing more time to engage with the neighborhood rather than manage the property. Pool access through the HOA adds a seasonal amenity that would otherwise require a separate membership or a longer commute to a public facility. The combination of walkability, highway access, and low-maintenance ownership creates a practical ownership profile for buyers prioritizing convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

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

The HOA covers an extensive range of expenses including exterior building maintenance, lawn care, pool access, sewer, water, trash, snow removal, road maintenance, and reserve fund contributions. This structure significantly reduces the variable costs of ownership and simplifies long-term budgeting compared to a fully independent single-family home.
A semi-detached home shares one wall with an adjacent unit but otherwise functions as an independent structure with its own entrance, outdoor exposure, and typically more autonomy than a condominium. Unlike a condo, the owner holds title to the structure and the land or lot associated with it, rather than an interior unit within a larger building.
The property includes unassigned parking. While the space is not designated to a specific spot, parking is included as part of the property and is covered within the HOA framework. Buyers should confirm the number of spaces and any guest parking provisions directly with the HOA.
Shirlington is one of Arlington’s most walkable neighborhoods, anchored by a village center that concentrates dining, retail, grocery, and everyday services along a pedestrian-friendly corridor. Most daily errands and dining options are accessible on foot, reducing car dependency for routine activities.
The home is close to Pentagon City Metro, which serves the Blue and Yellow lines and provides direct access to downtown DC, Reagan National Airport, and the broader Northern Virginia corridor. Direct I-395 access also makes the home practical for drivers commuting toward Alexandria, the Pentagon, or DC.
The home was built in 1944, placing it among Arlington’s mid-century residential stock. Buyers should anticipate that systems, finishes, and structural elements may reflect the age of the construction and plan for appropriate due diligence during inspection. The HOA’s coverage of exterior maintenance reduces some of the risk associated with older building envelopes.
At $555,000 in Arlington, semi-detached homes with two full baths and a comprehensive HOA covering pool access, lawn care, and exterior maintenance represent a relatively uncommon combination. Most comparable inventory at this price point consists of condominiums or townhouse-style attached units with narrower HOA coverage. A Wardman team member can provide recent comparables to contextualize the value proposition.
The Wardman Residential team at Compass has direct experience with Arlington’s semi-detached and HOA-governed residential inventory, including the Shirlington submarket.
