Claremont
Cape Cods, colonials and ranch-style homes
Housing in Claremont is a mix of single-family homes and condos, with colonial revival architecture and brick and vinyl siding being standard. Homes sit on cozy tree-lined streets with short front yards and sidewalks fit for strolling. Modernity meets classic charm in this neighborhood: though the homes’ exteriors resemble colonial-era architecture, many have fully updated interiors to accommodate a contemporary lifestyle. Prices start around $250,000 for a one-bedroom condo and get as high as $1.4 million for a five-bedroom home, with a median price of $675,000 overall and $850,000 for a single-family home. “If you are looking to purchase a detached home here, you can find a three-bedroom, two-full-bath for $750,000 to $850,000 for one of the neighborhood’s original homes,” Deevy says.Shopping and dining in Claremont
On weekends, Claremont residents grab brunch at Silver Diner, a regional chain that charms with its old-school diner vibe. The local Peruvian spot Edy’s Chicken & Steak Restaurant is another local favorite, with rotisserie chicken and yuca fries being popular menu items. Soccer fans hang out at Babylon Futbol Café, which serves drinks and plays all the international soccer games, and Nazret Ethiopian Restaurant is the neighborhood spot for authentic Ethiopian food. Residents get their shopping done at the retail centers on Leesburg Pike, which house shops like Target, Petco and Ross and grocery stores like Giant Food and Trader Joe’s.Seasonal events and the Marine Corps Marathon
Arlington hosts various events throughout the year, like the Arlington Festival of the Arts in the spring, Arlington County Fair in the summer and Rosslyn Jazz Fest and Marine Corps Marathon in the fall. One of the world’s largest marathons, the Marine Corps Marathon kicks off between the Pentagon and Arlington National Cemetery and finishes at the Marine Corps War Memorial.Immersion options in Arlington Public Schools
