Old Glebe's new residences and walkable parks
The north Arlington neighborhood of Old Glebe is an upscale, majority-residential neighborhood bisected by the central city street of North Glebe Road, accessible by bus. Karen Close, an Arlington local and associate broker with Century 21, says, “North Arlington has always been a very attractive area in general; people come from outside the state or inside from places like Loudoun County. People who have children but don’t like DC’s schools come here from the city. It’s a little bit of everything that we see as far as buyers.” In addition to being close to some of Arlington Public Schools’ highest-rated institutions of learning, Old Glebe residents have access to multiple large parks within the neighborhood boundary, with the sports amenities of Glebe Road Park or the history and natural beauty of Fort Ethan Allen Park.
Tennis at Glebe Road Park or environmental education at Gulf Branch Nature Center
Many locals are members of the nearby Washington Golf and Country Club, a 2-mile drive from home on North Glebe Road. Established in 1894, it’s the oldest private golf club in Virginia, and it’s where members can gather for drinks, play indoor or outdoor tennis, swim in the pool or tee off in this historic “club of the Presidents,” as its famous former members include presidents Calvin Coolidge, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and William Howard Taft. The 4-acre green space of Glebe Road Park is within Old Glebe and is within walking distance from even the farthest home in the neighborhood. Glebe Road Park has infrastructure from a walking path to basketball and tennis courts, with pickleball nets available. This large park also has the Gulf Branch Nature Center, with local wildlife exhibits and interactive informational displays. Locals with a green thumb can volunteer with the nature center for their invasive species branch removal project, organized on the second Saturday of each month, to learn about native plants while cleaning up invasive wildlife. The whole family can take a day trip to visit the nature center’s owl or tortoise exhibits right from home. History buffs can also stroll to Fort Ethan Allen Park, a green space built around what was once a Civil War-era military fort. Stroll around the grounds and see earthworks that have eroded somewhat but have been visible for over a century. The park has a walking tour of the old fortress’ perimeter and occasionally hosts reenactments of day-to-day life for the Union Army soldiers who once stood here.
