Peaceful subdivision with single-family homes in North Arlington
Hilly and densely shaded by trees, Rock Spring’s landscape almost exclusively consists of single-family homes. This northern Arlington neighborhood is popular among families who want to walk with their kids to some of the top-rated schools in Arlington, drive to the National Mall in just a few minutes and have a quiet neighborhood to come home to at the end of the day. “Rock Spring is a very suburban part of Arlington, so you have people there who want that feel. It has big lots and some really big, spectacular homes,” says Betsy Twigg, Associate Broker with McEnearney Associates.

Large houses on large lots
Rock Spring was largely developed in the 1940s with “really nice houses for big government officials at the time,” says Twigg. Many of these original homes still exist today, though several have been replaced by newer builds. “There were a lot of estates around there that might have had one house on it that, over the years, has been subdivided into six or so big houses around it,” Twigg says. Homes built within the last 10 years include modern and Craftsman-inspired new traditional styles, often spanning over 5,000 square feet. These spacious homes typically cost $2.2 million to north of $2.8 million. Original brick ranches, split levels and colonial revival homes built between the 1940s and ‘60s still exist in the neighborhood today, and many of them have newer additions and renovations. These houses typically span less than 3,000 square feet and sit on quarter-acre lots, costing between $1 million and $1.6 million.

Potomac Overlook Park and Washington Country Club
Kids play ball on the weekends at Jamestown Park, where the hills are perfect for sledding in the winter. Neighbors can also walk along the creek at Rock Spring Park, a small park on the neighborhood's south end. Potomac Overlook Regional Park is about 3 miles east for a larger park option. Situated on 67 acres, this park has hiking trails where visitors can catch views of the Potomac River. It also has a nature center and interpretive gardens. Washington Golf and Country Club is just east of Rock Spring. Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson were members, and the so-called “Club of Presidents” remains a popular spot for diplomats and officials. The private club has an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts and a swimming pool. "If you're devoted to golfing, you would go there, but it's not for everybody," Twigg says.
