Clarendon Arlington Virginia.
Calling Clarendon Arlington Virginia Home.
Clarendon Virginia, what can I say, this Arlington neighborhood is by far my favorite of all the desirable Arlington communities. Don’t get me wrong, Courthouse, Rosslyn and Ballston all have plenty to offer with some wonderful, dining, condo and shopping options, but Clarendon 
for me is the crème de la crème. I love that Clarendon has the feel of the suburbs with its tree lined streets, parks and established neighborhoods but all the amenities of a busy city.
I am not alone in my love for Clarendon, this neighborhood has become so desirable that the demand for housing is high and the supply is low. Although, the good news is that the construction that is currently underway in Clarendon VA will provide more residential living space.

Clarendon’s design makes it the ideal Arlington neighborhood to work, live and play. Back in 2008 Wilson Boulevard-Clarendon Boulevard which runs between Clarendon and Rosslyn was named one of 10 “Great Streets” in the U.S. by the American Planning Association. Wilson Boulevard-Clarendon Boulevard being name one of the 10 “Great Streets” for 2008 is a result of the Arlington County’s continued green commitment, and the fact that twenty percent of Arlington residents do not own a car and 50 percent walk, bike or use public transit to get to work. Read more about Arlington’s boulevards make list of top streets in U.S, in the Washington Business Journal.
