From Park Glen to Carlin Place
Unlike the colonial-influenced detached homes and duplexes in nearby communities like Forest Glen, low-to-mid-rise condos, apartments and townhouses are the name of the game in Arlington Mill. Many of the complexes in this hilly neighborhood include courtyards with rosebushes, tulips and well-trimmed lawns. The area’s walkable sidewalks and ample greenery connect each complex, creating a cohesive life-scape despite the differences in age between buildings. Though over half of Arlington Hills neighbors rent their homes, condo units with one to three bedrooms range from $250,000 to $450,000. Brick, 1980s-era townhouses start around $560,000, while brand-new, quick-order constructions like Carlin Place stretch over $1 million.

Columbia Pike and the dining and shopping surrounding this strip are within walking distance. “Cafe Sazon has become quite the community hub,” says Linda DeLuc, president of the Arlington Mill Civic Association and resident of over 20 years. “We all meet for programs there; their Latin food is really good.” Meda Coffee & Kitchen also sits outside the neighborhood and offers customer favorites like ginger tea and shareable Kitfo. Fast food options like McDonald’s and Little Caesars are next door for quick fixes. As for groceries, locals can grab fresh produce at the Megamart located off the main stretch of Columbia Pike, and big-box options from Dicks Sporting Goods to Trader Joe’s surround the interchange between this main thoroughfare and Leesburg Pike.

Kids spiral down tall tube slides at Tyrol Hill Park, one of the neighborhood’s key gathering spots. “We have two picnic areas, a basketball court and new playground equipment,” DeLuc says. “Residents are really happy with the park; you can take a book and hear the birds chirping.
