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.
