Located across the Potomac River from Washington DC, Arlington is one of the smallest counties in the country spanning a mere 26 square miles.  However, Arlington has more private office space than downtown Boston, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Denver.  When you consider it also contains one of the region’s most vibrant residential real estate markets, serves as a leader in incorporating “green” principles into its urban planning, and annually ranks as one of the top 100 public school systems in the nation, it easy to see how this small county has become the cornerstone of Northern Virginia.  Arlington’s 2010 tax base is divided between 43% commercial and 57% residential properties, enabling the County to maintain one of the most competitive property tax rates in the region.

Arlington has become a model for other cities around the world on how urban planning can limit our dependency on automobiles.  The Urban Villages of Arlington were designed around the Metrorail stations in an effort to minimize traffic congestion.  Each of these neighborhoods is almost 100 percent self-sufficient with its own grocery stores, shopping areas, restaurants and entertainment.  Metrorail and the bus systems provide quick and easy access to not only Arlington, but also the entire DC Metro Area.  The convenience of living in Arlington is one of its most attractive characteristics to many of its residents.

Arlington is well-known for its diverse selection of homes.  Whether you prefer a classic brick bungalow or a more contemporary artisan style craftsman home, Arlington is sure to have something to accommodate your taste.  From the first time home-buyer looking for a one bedroom condo in Ballston to the executive exploring the trophy houses around Washington Golf & Country Club, the real estate in Arlington is as diverse as its residents with something to suit everybody.

Over the past ten years, Arlington real estate has taken on a darker shade of green as consumers discover all the benefits that living in a eco-friendly home can provide.  The Arlington Green Home Choice program awards a designation to homes that meet standards for energy efficiency, indoor health and environmentally responsible building.  As demand grows, we are seeing evidence that these homes hold their value better and sell faster than standard code-built homes.
