Just five miles south of Washington D.C. occupying the west bank of the Potomac River is Arlington County, an area accommodating several different residential communities that blend together aspects of both rural and urban living. Arlington is described by locals as a city of harmonious contradictions, and it couldn’t be more true. Much of Arlington is known for embracing the charming, small-town feel of other quiet suburbs, but what sets it apart from other Northern Virginia communities is its undeniably modern, vibrant impression.
There are neighborhoods rich with history, steeped in tradition, and yet they offer residents big-city amenities and a lifestyle of convenience on safe, quiet streets. Living in Arlington means you don’t have to choose between a friendly, tight-knit community and a bustling metropolitan center; you have the best of both worlds, just minutes from the nation’s capital.
