Arlington, Virginia

Set right across the Potomac from Washington, D.C., Arlington is a densely populated urban area which, surprisingly, maintains a very suburban feel to it. Originally part of the 10 square miles allocated for the nation's capital, it was annexed back to Virginia in the 1840s.  This city is convenient, friendly and livable and moving into your new Arlington apartment will bring many rewards.

Hot Areas

Since the city has not only an excellent bus system but is serviced by the Metro as well, a car isn't necessary for commuting and getting around.  The areas directly around Metro stops are referred to as 'Urban villages' which makes searching for just the right neighborhood and Arlington apartment fairly easy.

Ballston is home to many new tall apartment buildings and condos which are close to parks, shopping and restaurants.  Adjacent Clarendon also has new high-rises yet is more eclectic for shopping and dining.  Pentagon City is known for its shopping areas and older luxury buildings.  The Virginia Square area is home to George Mason University and is a fun place to look as well.

Get Out

You'll find numerous parks for your leisure time.  Theodore Roosevelt Island is great for walks and is a wonderful vantage site to see the Georgetown waterfront.  Of course, there are any number of war memorials and even the massive Arlington Cemetary which should be visited. 

A Movie and Dinner

Getting out and about in Arlington has its rewards.  The Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse is a unique combination of movie theatre and restaurant all in one. The city boasts over 1000 restaurants and every possible ethnic food is available.

The Clarendon neighborhood probably has the highest concentration with everything from hole in the wall joints to upscale dining.  Check out Rays the Steaks on Wilson Boulevard for some of the best eating in the area.  You won't be sorry!

Pub Crawling

At night, you'll want to go to the Clarendon Ballroom and check it out.  It has a huge dance floor and even a rooftop deck which is great in the warmer months.  The area from Clarendon to Courthouse has enough pubs to make an evening worth walking from bar to bar and you are certain to find a great Irish pub very close to your Arlington apartment.
