Bellevue Forest Homes for Sale

As its name suggests, Bellevue Forests’ scenic natural landscape contrasts with the hustle and bustle of Arlington and nearby Washington, D.C. Residents can explore forested parklands without leaving their neighborhood, as Potomac Overlook Regional Park covers half of the community. The park has a nature center and hosts outdoor summer concerts. Marcey Road Park features sports facilities and a playground, while nearby Donaldson Run Park’s walking trail passes small streams. Bellevue Forest is often considered one of Arlington’s more sought-after neighborhoods, reflected in its higher housing prices. Many of the original ramblers and ranch-style homes have been torn down and replaced with large, custom properties that have amenities like pools and basements. The neighborhood lacks a commercial presence, but a 2-mile drive down Military Road leads to Langston Boulevard, with many shopping and dining options. Students attend highly-rated Arlington Public Schools, including Taylor Elementary, Dorothy Hamm Middle and Washington Liberty High. Bellevue Forest is one of the closest communities to the George Washington Memorial Parkway, which can lead commuters across the Key Bridge into D.C. Many houses are only one stoplight away from the District, and the nearest Metro station is about 3 miles south.
