Welcome to Arlington, VA
A vibrant Virginia enclave boasting youthful energy and urban style
Named for Robert E. Lee’s Virginia home, which later became Arlington National Cemetery, the eclectic town of Arlington is blazing the trail for older suburbs to become stylish, youthful pedestrian paradises. Once a part of DC, Arlington was given back to Virginia in 1846 and has steadily established itself as a bastion of urban style and excitement. Strategically designed around Metro stops, Arlington offers wide streets, bike and dog-friendly sidewalks and pathways, and easy access to DC for those working in the capital. This enterprising community offers its own impressive lineup of entrepreneurial and professional opportunities, including non-profit organizations, entertainment, tech, and chef-driven restaurants. New homeowners have their choice of palatial new construction builds set on sprawling lots, exclusive residential neighborhoods, and sleek condos with luxe amenities and retail access.
Arlington pampers its community with designer shopping and culinary destinations worthy of the most discerning tastes and palates. Lauded by the Michelin Guide, Ambar Restaurant delights diners with a true Balkan experience. This modern, light-filled bistro impresses with the bright, fresh flavors of traditional Balkan cuisine, as well as regional spirits. Ballston Quarter offers an upscale collection of bistros and boutiques, set in an elegant location. Start your morning with freshly roasted coffee and treats from District Doughnut, indulge in a treatment from Drybar, or enjoy a next-level culinary experience at Quarter Market, the Quarter’s adventurous destination for world-class dining. Regionally inspired seafood dishes make a splash at The Local Oyster, while Chef Kevin Tien at Hot Lola’s excites the palate with vibrant spices. Sports enthusiasts can even attend practices for the Washington Capitals, the NHL’s Stanley Cup-winning hockey team. The upscale Pentagon Row offers an equally dazzling display of luxe boutiques and hip bistros. Try the Asian fusion and sushi at Asia Bistro, traditional Lebanese cuisine at the highly acclaimed Lebanese Taverna, or find adventure at the lavish Sparrow Room, a speakeasy-style mahjong parlor featuring handcrafted cocktails and dim sum classics. The hip New American menu and rooftop patio at Wilson Hardware were made for social gatherings and catching up with friends.
