Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Glencarlyn, Arlington

Why Live in Glencarlyn
Glencarlyn, Arlington's oldest planned community, was originally plotted in 1887. Its history is preserved through monuments and historical markers. Homes date back to post-World War II suburban expansion, with small ramblers, Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals. Because of the time those houses were built, lots are typically small. The Glencarlyn Civic Association maintains the neighborhood’s few historic homes, like the Bell-Sellers house, the oldest in Arlington. Most residential roads lead toward Glencarlyn Park, where there’s a playground, pavilions and trails along Four Mile Run, which connects to the 45-mile Washington & Old Dominion Trail. Nearby, the Long Branch Nature Center offers various programs for all ages. The neighborhood is a short drive from conveniences like Target and Safeway on Arlington Boulevard, and the restaurants and shopping options in Bailey’s Crossroads. Students attend strong schools, including Carlin Springs Elementary, Kenmore Middle and Washington Liberty High. Neighbors gather for community events throughout the year, like the weekend-long Glencarlyn Days, which includes a parade and home tours. The Carlin Hall Community Center also puts on many activities for residents. There’s easy access to U.S. Route 50 and WMATA buses. Downtown D.C. is about 7 miles away, and Ronald Reagan Airport is about 6.
