Barcroft is where classic homes meet modern additions near daily needs
Barcroft is a deeply rooted South Arlington neighborhood whose story is still being written. The neighborhood dates to 1903 and has homes over a century old. However, recently built properties are adding modern flair to the streetscape. Barcroft’s neatly organized residential streets place locals within walking distance of multiple parks and a public elementary school, and the amenity-lined Columbia Pike keeps everyday businesses close.
What to know about Barcroft housing styles, lots and prices
Though Barcroft was platted in 1903, and there are properties in the area dating to the 1880s, most of the homes here were built from the 1930s through the 1970s. The neighborhood has a variety of established colonials, Cape Cods and ranch-style houses, many with stout brick exteriors. Modern, New Traditional-, and contemporary-style houses have popped up in the area in recent years, adding more diversity to the selection. The median lot size in Barcroft is a little under one-fifth of an acre, so properties typically come with yard space.
Barcroft homes typically range in price from the lower $800,000s to over $2 million, depending on factors like age and condition. Condos and townhouses in the community go for prices from the mid-$300,000s to $1.2 million, with monthly HOA fees anywhere from about $30 to $380. “It’s a better value moving here than in North Arlington, as far as the home pricing,” says local Realtor Jean-Pierre Lteif, who’s with Keller Williams Metro Center and has about 15 years of real estate experience. Barcroft’s median sale price of about $990,000 is lower than the median in some North Arlington neighborhoods such as Rock Spring (approximately $1.9 million), Old Glebe (about $2 million) and Donaldson Run (roughly $1.4 million).
Where Barcroft students can attend elementary through high school
The Arlington Public Schools system serves students in Barcroft. Students may start at the neighborhood’s centrally located Barcroft Elementary School, which has an active PTA that supports field trips, after-school activities and more. Barcroft is also about two miles from APS’s Kenmore Middle School and Wakefield High School, which have B-plus and A-minus grades on Niche, respectively. Our Savior Lutheran School is an A-plus-rated private option in the neighborhood for prekindergarten through eighth grade.
Getting around the area by car, bus and Metrorail
Barcroft sits just south of the six-lane Arlington Boulevard, a key roadway in the county. You can hop on the boulevard to reach the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge for the roughly 6-mile trip to Washington. Arlington Transit and Metrobus stops are available along South George Mason Drive and Columbia Pike. The Ballston-MU Metrorail station is about 2 miles away, and is another way to reach Washington, on the Orange and Silver lines.
Barcroft comes with easy access to parks and miles of trails
There’s no shortage of green space in the Barcroft area and around the rest of Arlington when you need some fresh air. You can hop on a trail for a miles-long adventure or take the kids to one of the nearby playgrounds. Some of the closest outdoor attractions are:
Arlington Hall West Park, a 7-acre spot with a play area and a multipurpose field
Alcova Heights Park, a 13-acre space featuring a ballfield, a playground, and basketball and sand volleyball courts
Washington and Old Dominion Trail, a 45-mile paved trail that’s accessible from Seventh and Ninth streets
Columbia Pike puts stores and global dining close to home
Barcroft residents don’t have to look farther than Columbia Pike for stores and restaurants. The thoroughfare became home to the area’s first store in 1885, and is now lined with all sorts of businesses. Stores such as CVS, Walgreens and Giant Food are available off Columbia Pike, within 2 miles of Barcroft. Some in the neighborhood are within walking distance of multiple restaurants, too, including:
Cabaña Restaurant, which is a Peruvian spot known for items like fish ceviche and lomo saltado, a type of beef stir-fry
Café Sazón, where you can dine on a mix of Bolivian, Salvadoran, Peruvian, Ecuadorian and American dishes
Atlacatl Restaurant, a Salvadoran and Mexican restaurant with an outdoor patio
Pho Saigon Pearl, a place for Vietnamese fare such as pho, banh mi sandwiches and vermicelli bowls
Why Barcroft Community House remains a local landmark
The Barcroft Community House is one of the neighborhood’s unique features, a structure that opened in 1908 as a church, later served as a school and now is a neighborhood meeting place. The Barcroft Community House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995, and still is the site of the Barcroft School and Civic League’s monthly neighborhood association meetings. The facility also hosts a cookout at the end of Barcroft’s annual Fourth of July parade.
