Why Live in Golf Club Manor
Golf Club Manor in Arlington is a tranquil suburb known for its slightly more affordable homes compared to neighboring areas like Old Glebe. The neighborhood's name is derived from the nearby Washington Golf and Country Club, located about a mile down Glebe Road. While the club is exclusive with a lengthy waiting list and high initiation fees, residents enjoy public recreational options such as Glebe Road Park and the Gulf Branch Nature Center. The park features basketball courts, tennis courts, and access to the Gulf Branch Trail, which connects to the Pimmit Run pathway and Chain Bridge into D.C. Homes in Golf Club Manor, primarily built in the 1960s, include red brick bilevels, ramblers, and larger houses on quarter-acre lots, with prices ranging from $1.4 million to $1.6 million. Newer homes in the area, built within the last decade, are priced between $2.2 million and $2.7 million. The neighborhood is served by highly rated schools, including Jamestown Elementary, Williamsburg Middle, and Yorktown High, all of which receive high marks. Residents must travel outside the neighborhood for shopping and dining, with Chesterfield Shopping Center and Clarendon offering various options within a few miles. Despite its car-dependent nature, Golf Club Manor has bus stops along Glebe Road and a Metrorail station in East Falls Church, about 3 miles away. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, with a low crime risk score.
