Welcome to Arlington

An oasis of urban lifestyle and history with access to Washington DC
 
Nestled in Northern Virginia on the southwestern bank of the Potomac River sits Arlington, Virginia, home to more than 200,000 people. A hub of activity boasting urban-suburban streets lined with trees, attractive homes, and upscale options, locals and tourists alike find community in the shade of blossoming cherry trees.
 
Arlington was originally surveyed as part of the plot of land meant to become our nation’s capital. Throughout the first half of the 1800s, Arlington was called Alexandria County and was a part of the District of Columbia. After the civil war, however, Alexandria and Arlington — named after General E. Lee’s estate — were separated, and while Arlington legally cannot be split up into towns, it is considered one homogenous community. This unique unitary form of government is just one of the many reasons Arlington is an unequaled place to call home.
 
Today, Arlington is almost all developed land, lending viability to the urban atmosphere present throughout the county. Intermingled with historic architectural styles such as colonial, farmhouse, and Cape Cod, as well as more modern styles like the bungalow, ranch, and craftsman, Arlington is a haven of accessible urban living. A short distance to Washington DC, Arlington appeals to many, especially young professionals.

A lively and charming place to live, Arlington is an ideal destination for many families and young professionals.
 

Dining, Shopping, and Entertainment

The entertainment scene of Arlington leaves no stone unturned. From bars and restaurants to luxury shopping centers and outdoor spaces, Arlington is a hub of activity.
 
Teeming with both stylish boutiques and full-experience shopping centers, Arlington contains a wealth of options. Stop by Covet, a chic and contemporary boutique for your clothing, gift, and accessory needs. Afterward, head over to the more than 140 unique stores at the premier Fashion Centre at Pentagon Mall.
 
After a day of excellent shopping, refuel at any number of cafes, eateries, and iconic Arlington restaurants. Make a reservation at Carlyle, a top-rated American brasserie. Or, unwind with some literature at Busboys and Poets, an inclusive cafe that doubles as a bookstore and contains event spaces. Be sure to celebrate any occasion at the delicious Ruth’s Chris Steak House, home of perfect prime steak and warm hospitality.
 

Things to Do

The locale of Arlington makes it a top destination for festivals, events, and outdoor entertainment options. Between festivals and state parks, there’s never a dull moment to be had.
 
Greet the summer at the outstanding community-wide Arlington County Fair. The Ferris wheel and other rides alone are worth the excursion, but the art exhibits, beer gardens, butterfly enclosures, and more make the county fair an event to remember each year. If the live performances of the county fair aren’t enough to satiate, don’t worry because the Birchmere Concert Hall hosts live music and a great atmosphere every week of the year.
 
Arlington’s prime location and gentle, restorative weather make its outdoor options a wonderful contender when it comes to activity. Plan a day at Lubber Run Park for its playgrounds, tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts, or check out Quincy Park for access to the local library, a sand volleyball court, and even reservable event spaces. Bon Air Park and Rose Garden and Potomac Overlook Park both offer stunningly scenic vistas for the whole family to enjoy.
