A sub-$1M townhome a stone’s throw from the Arlington border usually means compromise. This one has a swim spa, a hot tub, and parkland on two sides. 👉 Want all the listing details? 💬 Follow us, then comment THURSDAY and we’ll send the listing link straight to your DMs. An end-unit townhome at The Sanctuary at Stonegate, in Alexandria’s West End near Mark Center. 3 beds, 4 baths, $949,900. ▫️ It’s an end unit bordered by parkland on two sides, so instead of sharing walls with neighbors on both ends, you’ve got trees. That’s the whole reason it earns the “Sanctuary” name (comment “Thursday” for the listing link). ▫️ The backyard runs like a private spa: a hot tub, a year-round swim spa, and a patio, all fully fenced. The lower level keeps going with a wood-paneled media room, a projector with an automatic screen and blackout shades, and a dedicated fitness area. ▫️ The kitchen is built for someone who actually cooks: quartz counters, double ovens, a six-burner cooktop, and built-in cabinetry, opening to a family room with a stone gas fireplace. ▫️ A few of the big-ticket items are brand new per the listing: the primary bath was fully redesigned in November 2025, and the HVAC serving the main and lower levels was replaced the same month. One important note: at 3 bedrooms it’s not the biggest footprint on the block, but with an attached two-car garage, a private driveway, a finished walk-out lower level, and that backyard, the usable space lives much larger than the bedroom count suggests. If you ask us, the swim-spa-and-hot-tub backyard under $950K is one of the more surprising things we’ve toured this spring. 📍 Direct access to I-395, minutes to the Pentagon, a short drive to Bradlee Shopping Center and Clyde’s at Mark Center, and King Street straight into Old Town. 🏡 Open Houses: Fri May 29 (5-7pm), Sat May 30 (11am-1pm), Sun May 31 (12-2pm) As always, our IG Stories got the first look 👀 💬 Follow us, then comment THURSDAY and we’ll send the listing link straight to your DMs. ✨ Listed by Meriem Ouenniche | TTR Sotheby’s International Realty #discoverarlington #tourthursday #alexandriava #marwood #commuterlife

It's a 3.5-mile bike from this front door to Georgetown. Most McLean residents take longer just to clear the Beltway. 👉 Want all the listing details? 💬 Follow us, then comment THURSDAY and we'll send the listing link straight to your DMs. A fully renovated 1930 farmhouse in Waycroft-Woodlawn. 4 beds, 3.5 baths, $1,499,000 (just dropped $51K). ▫️ Waycroft-Woodlawn sits just northwest of Ballston and Virginia Square, with the Custis Trail running between them. Walking distance to Ballston Metro, a block to Woodlawn Park, and a short walk to Ballston's restaurants and coffee shops. ▫️ The home is 1930 with a top-to-bottom renovation in 2020. The original radiators are still in the office, and the kitchen is fully reset with quartz counters and a farmhouse sink. A renovation that respected the 1930 instead of erasing it (comment "Thursday" for the listing link). ▫️ The Custis Trail being 100 feet off the back is the real unlock here. From this address, you're a 3.5-mile bike to Georgetown without ever sharing a road with a car. ▫️ Schools are the Glebe / Swanson / Washington-Liberty cluster, with Glebe Elementary currently rated the highest of any elementary school in Arlington Public Schools on GreatSchools.org. One important note: the lot is 0.12 acres, which is on the smaller side for Arlington at this price point. However, the entire 2,515 sqft is fully renovated, the yard is fully fenced, and you're walking to Ballston in under 15 minutes. If you ask us, this is one of the most thoughtfully done 1930 renovations we've toured in Arlington this spring. 📍 A short walk to Ballston Metro, a block to Woodlawn Park, easy access to I-66 and the Custis Trail.

👋 We're Leah and Blake, the couple behind Discover Arlington. We started this account for one reason: people kept asking us where to live around here, from Clarendon to Cherrydale to streets they'd never heard of, and we wanted one core place to send them. 👉 Want to explore more of Arlington’s neighborhoods? 💬 Follow us, then comment MOVING and we’ll send you a few free resources with our neighborhood breakdowns, local recommendations, and exclusive discounts!. The question we hear the most: "We love the idea of Arlington but where do we even start?" The honest answer is there's no single best neighborhood. There's the one that matches what you actually need. One Metro stop from a DC office is a different life than a walkable village with a coffee shop you'd become a regular at, or a street in Yorktown where the kids can bike to school. So we built these options around the priority, not the neighborhood. Swipe through and find the slide that sounds like you. One thing we've learned over the years: these neighborhoods overlap more than people expect. Westover is walkable, historic + outdoor-adjacent all at once. However you found us, we're really glad you did. Which area sounds like you? Tell us in the comments 💛

☕ Some mornings I'm at Simona Cafe in Lyon Village before Blake and I walk to the office. Some mornings our 3 year old is negotiating for a Good Company doughnut in Ballston and winning. Here are 8 ways we do mornings around Arlington. 💬 Follow us, then comment GUIDE and we'll send you our full Arlington Locals Guide. Restaurants, neighborhood breakdowns, weekend itineraries, the whole thing. The pairings span Crystal City to Westover to Old Dominion. About half are kid-approved: the Call Your Mother bagels, Metro 29 Diner, the Village Sweet run, the Gravelly Point picnic where the planes come in low enough to feel them. The other half are for when Blake and I get a slow Saturday, or our babysitter takes a shift. If I had to pick one I do more than the rest, it's the Village Sweet treat. I have to stop driving through Westover to avoid their scones. :) Spring in Arlington is short. Pick a few while the weather holds. What's the morning routine you keep going back to? 💛 -- 📷 Photos courtesy of the local businesses featured here, plus Arlington County, NOVA Parks, ARLnow, andNorthernVA.org

Clients ask us what homes actually cost in their corner of Arlington all the time, whether that’s Westover or Williamsburg. So we pulled every detached single-family home sale over the last 365 days, in the neighborhoods we get asked most about. 👉 Want to explore more of Arlington’s neighborhoods? 💬 Follow us, then comment MOVING and we’ll send you a few free resources with our neighborhood breakdowns, local recommendations, and exclusive discounts! Median sale price, detached single-family homes, past year: 📍 Alcova Heights: $907,495 📍 Arlington Heights: $907,500 📍 Arlington Forest: $975,000 📍 Westover: $1,070,000 📍 Barcroft: $1,093,915 📍 Aurora Highlands: $1,150,000 📍 Arlington Ridge: $1,260,000 📍 Donaldson Run: $1,350,000 📍 Ashton Heights: $1,415,000 📍 Lyon Park: $1,500,000 📍 Yorktown: $1,509,000 📍 Cherrydale: $1,555,000 📍 Rock Spring: $1,605,000 📍 Lyon Village: $2,120,000 📍 Williamsburg: $2,232,500 Two things worth knowing about these numbers: ▫️ They’re medians, not averages. Average adds up every sale and divides by the count, so one $3.25M new build pulls the whole neighborhood up. Median takes the middle sale. In Donaldson Run, homes sold anywhere from $865,000 to $3,250,000 this year. The average lands near $1,549,000. The median is $1,350,000, which is a more accurate reflection of what we’d consider to be “in the middle.” ▫️ This is detached single-family only. Condos and townhomes tell a different story, which is why neighborhoods like Clarendon and Ballston aren’t on the list. They had only a handful of detached sales all year.

We went into the Bounce class at Studio B in Courthouse thinking we were in decent shape. The trampoline corrected that assumption. Quickly. 👉 Studio B is one of 60+ Arlington spots offering discounts for our followers only! 💬 Follow us, then comment LOCAL and we’ll send you the link to join our free Local Perks Club. The whole team went together. By a few minutes in, we were absolutely working for it, watching the instructor cycle through bounce combinations that looked easy until you tried them yourself. A few things stood out: 📍 Trampoline cardio is harder than it looks. Your legs are working the entire time, even when you don’t realize it. 📍 Less repetitive cardio, more constant motion. Bounce, planks, and weight work, all stacked into one class. 📍 Low impact on the joints, but the instability of the trampoline keeps your core engaged the entire time (the actual hidden flex if you’ve been told to lay off running for a while). 📍 The music is loud, the energy is high, and the class flies. Studio B also offers barre, TRX, pilates-inspired classes, and dance. Worth working into a rotation if you’ve been doing the same workout for too long. 👉 Follow us, then comment LOCAL to join our Local Perks Club and unlock discounts at Studio B and 60+ other Arlington spots. #arlingtonva #courthousearlington #studiobarl #bounceclass #dmv
