A 20-by-40 heated saltwater pool, a built-in grill, and a walkout basement that opens onto the patio. All in the backyard of a new North Arlington build. 👉 Want all the listing details? 💬 Follow us, then comment THURSDAY and we'll send the listing link to your DMs. A new Classic Cottages build in Old Glebe. 6 beds, 8 baths, 6,739 sqft, listed at $3,850,000. ▫️ Old Glebe sits in North Arlington by the Washington Golf and Country Club. Quiet streets, larger lots, nature trails nearby. The lot here is about 18,000 sqft, bigger than the typical Arlington new-build parcel. ▫️ Built across three levels with Thermador appliances, quartz counters, an oversized island, butler's pantry, wide-plank hardwoods, and a wood-burning fireplace. ▫️ The backyard: a 20-by-40 heated saltwater pool with auto cover, a built-in grill, a screened porch facing the pool, and a walkout basement that opens onto the patio with a full bathroom right off the pool access. ▫️ Six bedrooms, all with en-suites: a main-level guest suite, the primary upstairs with dual walk-ins and a private rooftop deck, three more upper-level bedrooms, and a fifth in the walkout basement. Plus a rec room with wet bar and a fitness room. ▫️ School cluster: Jamestown / Williamsburg / Yorktown. One important note: saltwater pools are less day-to-day work than chlorine, since the salt cell generates chlorine automatically. The recurring cost is replacing the generator cell every 3-7 years. Just something to keep in mind! Backyard pools and new construction at this scale don't usually come together in North Arlington. 📍 Old Glebe, North Arlington. Walking distance to the Washington Golf and Country Club, minutes to the GW Parkway and downtown DC.

Clarendon has a sports bar that’s about to show every single World Cup match this summer, and it moonlights as a live music venue the rest of the week 🍻 👉 Want discounts at 60+ Arlington spots? 💬 Follow us then comment LOCAL and we’ll DM you the link to join our free Perks Club! Hyde Social is showing every World Cup match this summer, with one of Clarendon’s better patios for the afternoon kickoffs. The rest of the week has its own rhythm: karaoke Tuesdays at 8, local artists playing acoustic sets Wednesdays from 6 to 9, and live music Thursday through Saturday starting at 9. Sundays bring every NFL game, Saturdays bring SEC college football. It’s in the old Pamplona space at 3100 Clarendon Blvd, with bars on both ends and couch seating that actually works for a group. Coming from a local: it gets lively, especially on a weekend night, so it leans more big-group energy than quiet table for two. Just something to consider before you make a reservation 😊 📍 Hyde Social - Clarendon, Arlington VA 👉 New to Arlington and building your list? 💬 Comment LOCAL and we’ll send over the Perks Club link, your way into deals at 60+ spots around town.

We have a habit of falling for new Arlington openings before they even open. Two right now have us doing it again. 👉 Want our full list of new Arlington businesses to watch? 💬 Follow us, then comment GUIDE and we will send it to you. The first is Sprouts Farmers Market. We have been hearing about Sprouts coming to Arlington for a while, and the thing we are most excited about is the sea salt caramels (yes, the grocery store sea salt caramels, Leah is already convinced these will become a problem in our house). The second is Pop Up Bagels. Leah heard that the cream cheese is the whole story there, more than the bagels themselves, which is a wild thing to be known for as a bagel shop. She has been talking about wanting to try it for weeks. There are two new openings on our radar, and the reasons we are excited about each are very different. One is the grocery store version of a candy crush. The other is the bagel shop that is somehow really about its cream cheese. We will let you know what is worth the visit once both are open. In the meantime, both are on our running list of new Arlington openings to watch. 👉 Want our full guide to Arlington's best food, drink, and lifestyle picks? 💬 Follow us, then comment GUIDE and we will send you our Arlington Locals Guide.

There is a point in every Arlington summer where "go play outside" stops being a viable parenting strategy. 👉 Want to know where else we take the kids to cool off this summer? 💬 Follow us, then comment GUIDE and we will send it to you. By mid-July the backyard is too hot, the playground equipment is somehow hotter, and even the youngest is over the sprinkler. These are the five spots we are rotating through this summer to keep everyone sane. 📍 Ocean Dunes Waterpark at Upton Hill is the only spot on this list where the kids genuinely wear themselves out for the day. The slides, the wave action, and the day pass model make it worth the drive even from North Arlington. 📍 Lyon Village Park splash pad is walkable for anyone in Lyon Village or Clarendon. The smaller scale is a feature for younger kids who get overstimulated by the bigger setups. 📍 Virginia Highlands Park splash pad is in the Pentagon City area and has a bigger play area than most of the North Arlington splash pads. There are sports fields and a playground next to it for when the kids are done with the water. 📍 Mosaic Park splash pad is the newest of the group, over in the Ballston area. The design is modern and there are shade structures, which matters more than people realize when you are sitting next to a splash pad in July. 📍 Long Bridge Aquatic Center has indoor and outdoor pools, which makes it the only entry on this list that works on rainy days. You can buy a day pass or get a membership. The slide setup is a hit with the older kids. None of these are perfect. The crowded weekends, the parking, and the inevitable meltdown when it is time to leave all come with the territory (we have had memorable meltdowns at every one of these). But the alternative is the kids asking us for the hundredth time if they can have screen time. 👉 Want our full guide to Arlington with kids this summer? 💬 Follow us, then comment GUIDE and we will send you our Arlington Locals Guide.

Most new-construction shoppers in North Arlington are 18 months from contract to keys… this one is already built 🫣 👉 Want all the listing details? 💬 Follow us, then comment THURSDAY and we’ll send the listing link straight to your DMs. A recently delivered 7,700 sqft custom home in Bellevue Forest. 7 beds, 9 baths, and it’s listed at $3,499,995. ▫️ Bellevue Forest is one of North Arlington’s most established neighborhoods. Quiet streets, larger lots, walking distance to the Washington Golf & Tennis Club, with nature trails and parks throughout. ▫️ Built by MR Custom Homes across four finished levels. 10-foot ceilings, wide-plank white oak floors, coffered ceilings in the family room with a wood-burning fireplace, an oversized island kitchen with a walk-in pantry, and a screened porch with skylights, heaters, and direct backyard access. ▫️ Seven bedrooms total: a primary suite with dual walk-ins and a spa bath with heated floors and a soaking tub, three more upper-level bedrooms each with en-suite, a top-floor loft with full bath, and a lower-level bedroom off a rec room with wet bar and fitness room. Built-in audio and elevator rough-in are already in place. ▫️ Schools are the Jamestown / Williamsburg / Yorktown cluster. One important note: four finished levels means a lot of stairs in your daily routine. The elevator rough-in is the seller’s acknowledgment of that, and worth budgeting for if you’re planning to be in the house for the long run. New build, established neighborhood, ready to move in. That trio doesn’t come up in Bellevue Forest very often. 📍 Bellevue Forest, North Arlington. Walking distance to the Washington Golf & Tennis Club, minutes to the GW Parkway and downtown DC. 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 Katie Grieco | TTR Sotheby’s International Realty #tourthursday #arlingtonva #bellevueforest #northarlington #newconstruction

Twins Ace Hardware has been an Arlington staple in Courthouse for a decade. Their second location just opened in National Landing, and we had to pop in for opening weekend! 👉 Want access to exclusive deals at 60+ local Arlington spots, including 10% off at Twins Ace Hardware? 💬 Follow us, then comment LOCAL and we'll DM you the link to join our Local Perks Club for free. The biggest difference at this location is the size: 8,000+ square feet stocked with everything from decorative hardware to plants, lawnmowers, gardening supplies, pet supplies, school supplies, even Legos. Keep walking and you find moving supplies, lumber, and the coolest Big Green Egg setup we've seen. Did we mention plants? We came in on a paint mission. Their team helped us pick a color, mixed our samples on the spot, and sent us home with the best quality paint (we're already obsessed with one of the Benjamin Moore greens, RIP to our budget). Twins Ace is family-friendly, pet-friendly, and full service. They validate two hours of free garage parking with Ace, which is a serious perk!. If you're closer to Courthouse, the original Twins Ace is still at 2001 Clarendon Boulevard. 👉 Want in on those 60+ Arlington discounts? 💬 Comment LOCAL on this post for our Perks Club link.

From this front door you can walk to Sfoglina, two Metros, and the bridge to Georgetown. The condo behind it is south-facing and just hit the market. 👉 Want all the listing details? 💬 Follow us, then comment THURSDAY and we'll send the listing link straight to your DMs. A south-facing 2-bed, 2-bath at 1800 Wilson Blvd in Rosslyn. 1,047 sqft, 9-foot ceilings, and it just hit the market at $735,000. ▫️ 1800 Wilson Blvd is in the heart of Rosslyn, blocks from both Rosslyn and Courthouse Metro. South-facing means real light into the living room, not just into another building's facade across the way. ▫️ Inside: open floor plan, 9-foot ceilings, hardwood floors running into both bedrooms. Center island kitchen with counter seating, granite counters, soft-close wood cabinetry. Custom Elfa closets in both bedrooms, walk-in in the primary. ▫️ Building amenities: attended front desk, fitness center, package room, bike storage, business center, courtyard with a fire pit. One parking space conveys, which matters more than it sounds in Rosslyn. ▫️ Outside the front door: Sfoglina, Maman Bakery, Compass Coffee, Tupelo Honey, and South Block. Target a few blocks west. Two Metro stations, the GW Parkway, and the bridge to Georgetown. One important note: 1,047 sqft is condo-tight. The 9-foot ceilings, open floor plan, and custom Elfa closets make it work harder than the number suggests. If you want a 3-bed family layout, this isn't it. If your wishlist is walkable to the Metro, light-filled, move-in ready, and a bridge ride from Georgetown, this is the one to bookmark. 📍 1800 Wilson Blvd, Rosslyn. Blocks from two Metros, the bridge to Georgetown, and the trails along the Potomac. 💬 Follow us, then comment THURSDAY and we'll send the listing link straight to your DMs. ✨ Listed by Blake Davenport | The Davenport Group at TTR Sotheby's International Realty #tourthursday #arlingtonva #rosslyn #arlingtoncondos #davenportgroup
