High rises across the Potomac River from Georgetown
Located across the Potomac River from Georgetown, North Highland is an active Arlington neighborhood of high rises, townhouses and single-family homes. People exercise along a wooded nature trail and ride their bikes across the bridge to D.C. on the weekends. “You can see the Georgetown crew team going out all the time on the D.C. side,” says Nick Africano, licensed real estate agent at Compass in nearby Alexandria. “It’s a very active area where a lot of people go running.”
