High rises across the Potomac River from Georgetown
Located across the Potomac River from Georgetown, North Highland is an active Arlington neighborhood of high rises, townhouses and single-family homes. People exercise along a wooded nature trail and ride their bikes across the bridge to D.C. on the weekends. “You can see the Georgetown crew team going out all the time on the D.C. side,” says Nick Africano, licensed real estate agent at Compass in nearby Alexandria. “It’s a very active area where a lot of people go running.”
Single-family homes and condos near Georgetown

There’s a lot to do, with nothing to worry about.” North Highland scores a 3 out of 10 on the CAP Index, which measures crime and safety. That’s below the national CAP Index score of 4.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
