Clarendon’s Station Square defines Urban Living in Arlington
Station Square condominiums offer its residents amenities and urban living in Arlington VA.
When I first told my friends and neighbors that we were moving up to the DC Metro area, they immediately said that we just had to google the Arlington Rap… then came the”answer” in the Clarendon Rap and I just thought these guys were so clever and that their expression and passion for their neighborhoods was the most hilarious thing ever. “Meet me at the Starbucks, or the Starbucks, or the Starbucks…” You know what I mean. Of course, after being up here for some time now, the novelty of the dueling raps has worn off, but the liveliness and authenticity that is Clarendon is still fresh and pulsing.
Remmy and his buddy are totally right- Arlington is the place to be, and Clarendon is a total hot spot for activity (The Clarendon Farmer’s Market, yoga at Lululemon), entrainment (Clarendon Ballroom for some hipster fun, Faccia Luna for delectable pizza, Iota Club and Galaxy Club music venues, Eventide for a lovely evening on the living roof, Witlow’s, La Tasca to share sangria and maybe some manchego, Cheesecake Factory for let’s face it… the simple sweets, Gua Rapo for luscious Latin American flavor), shopping (Local shoe vendor ShoeFly, South Moon Under for their designer labels and super chic ensembles, The Apple Store- just because, it is the Apple Store, Loft, William Sonoma for the random coffee samples you know you wonder in there for and funky kitchen gadgets), and you’re never too far from some decent coffee (Boccato Gelato & Espresso, RIP: Murky Coffee and there is always the Starbucks, or the Starbucks…). Aside from all of the things available for you to do in Clarendon, right in the thick of things, you can certainly find some fantastic places to live in the Clarendon area in terms of condominiums. From Clarendon 3131′s sleek sophistication to the ever popular 1021 Clarendon which seems to be the hub of Clarendon, there is another condo that really stands out. One of our absolute favorite condominium developments is Station Square located at 2900 Clarendon Boulevard in Arlington. Completed in 2006, the Bush Construction Corporation put together three high-rise buildings at the pulse of Arlington’s Clarendon district to create a community that can embody their concept: Urban. Civilization. At the very heart of Clarendon, the residences at Station Square offer all of the options that a condominium owner could want. Let’s just say it- location, location, location. With dozens of floor plans to choose from offering either contemporary urban loft style or a more traditional, classic condominium lay out, Station Square delivers.
This mixed-use community houses a Gold’s Gym, which residents are able to enjoy a discounted rate of membership, or they can use the condominium’s own private fitness center and outdoor pool. Station Square is a really a great place for someone who wants to be active, have a lot to do at their fingertips and live in a home that has great finishes for the price. The open floor plans offer either 8′5″ ceilings in the classic style condominium design or 10′ ceilings in the urban loft style units. Custom moldings, track lighting, hardwoods in living areas and stainless steel appliances outfit the units giving an upgraded designer feel to each space. Currently there are not too many units available, but there are Just one block to the Clarendon Metro, Station Square gives residents the freedom of choice when it comes to how they want to live it up in Arlington. Here you can be classic, contemporary and urban all at the same time.
After some trial and error, we have come up with five fun things to try in Clarendon:
1. Throw a frisbee on a crisp fall afternoon at Clarendon Park.
2. Catch the area’s best live bands at Iota Club & Café where you can hear live music seven nights a week.
3. Meet your fellow canine lovers at the Clarendon Dog Park situated between 13th, Herndon, and Hartford Streets.
4. Take part in Arlington’s biggest street party on Clarendon Day every September.
5. After getting a tune-up at Revolution Cycles, hit the bike trails and enjoy the 113 miles of trails in Arlington County.
So, if you choose to live in Arlington and want to be in the “it” place to be, Station Square Condos are just steps from the Metro, shops, dining. What more could you ask for? – On top of all of these goodies, you can now legitimately send your buddy’s the Clarendon Rap to be silly (or serious… whatever floats your boat) and show them you can “represent” Clarendon.
