Donaldson Run Home for Sale

Donaldson Run offers quiet suburban living a short drive from Washington, D.C. The upscale Arlington neighborhood’s rolling hills and mature tree canopy provide a sense of seclusion. Residents like their privacy, and homes set far back from the road often have long, winding driveways. Many ramblers, Colonial Revivals and ranch-style homes were built in the 1940s and ‘50s. Some of these properties have been torn down and replaced with larger modern homes; others face the Washington Golf and Country Club. The neighborhood has plenty of things to do, with the Donaldson Run Recreation Association offering a swim club, dive team and events for members. Neighborhood trails can lead to Potomac Overlook Regional Park, which has riverfront views. Students attend highly-rated schools, including Taylor Elementary, Dorothy Hamm Middle and Yorktown High. The Lee Heights Shops, just across Langston Boulevard from Donaldson Run, have chain restaurants and specialty shops. Grocery stores are a short drive away. D.C.’s National Mall is less than 5 miles northwest, and the George Washington Memorial Parkway can take drivers there. Donaldson Run’s CAP Index Crime Score is 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.
