Arlington County - Submarkets Explained!



It occurs to me as I write these blogs, that when I talk about the submarkets of Arlington - you might not know all of them or where they are!! So I wanted to put together a little geography lesson!

The DC Metro Area has 5 lines: Blue, Yellow, Green, Red, Orange (much easier than number trains in my opinion!)

The end of the Orange Line serves Vienna VA through Arlington to Foggy Bottom (Georgetown) and into DC and ends in Maryland

The Arlington "Orange Line Corridor" consists of the following submarkets: Rosslyn, Courthouse, Clarendon, Virginia Square, & Ballston. The end of the Blue Line serves Springfield VA through Alexandria, Old Town Alexandria, Crystal City, the Pentagon, and Foggy Bottom (Georgetown), it also runs through DC and ends in Largo, MD.

The Yellow Line runs from Huntington and ends at Fort Trotten in MD.
The Arlington submarkets along the Blue and Yellow lines include:Pentagon City, Crystal City, and Neighboring Old Town Alexandria

Shirlington and Columbia Pike are the other 2 submarkets of Arlington, that may be a short walk, or quick drive to one of the metro stops shown on the above maps.

If that's too much to swallow, or if you want to learn more specifics about the area, buildings, housing costs, or fun places to visit - feel free to call or email me!
