All-Inclusive Living on Columbia Pike

Unit 212 at Columbia Park Condominiums delivers a straightforward ownership proposition: a 789-square-foot one-bedroom residence in Arlington with an HOA structure that absorbs the majority of monthly utility and maintenance costs. For buyers weighing the true cost of ownership, that distinction matters considerably.

The building dates to 1964 and reflects the enduring construction standards of that era. Professionally managed common areas, exterior maintenance, and snow removal are all covered, reducing the day-to-day demands on the owner. The community pool is included in the HOA fee, adding a seasonal amenity without additional cost.

Columbia Pike is one of Arlington’s most active corridors, with neighborhood grocery options, local dining, and service retail within reach. The area’s bus network provides direct connections into the broader Northern Virginia and DC transit grid, making this a practical base for those who commute or move frequently across the region.

At $220,000, this residence sits at a compelling price point within Arlington’s ownership market. The all-inclusive HOA structure makes monthly cost modeling more predictable than many comparable listings in the submarket.

The Residence

The Building
