Arlington Ridge Townhomes for Sale

Arlington Ridge, a compact suburb between Interstate 395 and the Pentagon City metro station, is favored by government and military employees for its proximity to the Pentagon and Washington, D.C. The neighborhood features single-family homes with modest lawns, including brick center-hall colonials, split-levels from the 1940s and 1960s, and early 1900s Sears Craftsman homes and bungalows. Residents enjoy an active community with biking, running, and dog walking. The George Washington Memorial Parkway bike trail system and Fort Scott Park, which offers a playground, picnic area, and lighted basketball courts, provide ample things to do outdoors. For more extensive outdoor activities, locals use the seven-mile Four Mile Run trail and the scenic Mount Vernon Trail along the Potomac River. Gravelly Point Park is a favorite spot for picnicking and plane-watching, while Virginia Highlands Park offers tennis and basketball courts, a community field, and a splash park. Shopping and dining are convenient with Pentagon City and Crystal City nearby, offering retail stores like Nordstrom and Macy's, and dining options including the 24-hour Kabob Palace. Grocery needs are met by a Giant in Long Branch Creek and a Whole Foods in Pentagon City. The neighborhood is served by the highly-rated Arlington Public Schools, including Oakridge Elementary, Gunston Middle, and Wakefield High. Arlington Ridge boasts excellent access to D.C., with a six-mile drive via Washington Boulevard and U.S. Route 50, and metro stations in Pentagon City and Crystal City providing Blue and Yellow Line access. Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is within walking distance, yet the neighborhood remains quiet due to restricted airspace.
