Townhouses, condos and apartments in the fit city of Arlington
Buckingham is a neighborhood of townhouses near the center of Arlington. Brick multi-unit buildings with shuttered windows line the residential streets of this area right outside of Washington, D.C. People park on the streets or in designated spots outside their units and hop on North Glebe Road to reach the center of Arlington in less than five minutes. Arlington is known for its highly educated population that makes being healthy a priority. “It’s a very fit city in terms of health. A lot of people are into their physique,” says Josh Bell, managing partner and Realtor at Liton Properties based in D.C.

Buckingham is mostly townhouses, condo buildings and apartments.

The high-rise Hyde Park Condos have balconies, exterior lighting and a community pool, plus association fees that cover air conditioning and snow removal. Low-rise condos in Arlington Oaks have water, snow removal and heat included in association fees, and woods in their backyard. High-rise condos can go for about $500,000, low-rise units can cost $250,000 and townhouses built in 2012 can cost $1.2 million. Single-family homes like colonials and custom builds costing $1 million or more sit in the northwest corner of the neighborhood. The Catholic Diocese of Arlington keeps its headquarters in Buckingham. The Cathedral of St. Thomas More and its nearby school sit within the neighborhood.
