What Your Home Is Worth in Alcova Heights
A free home value from people who walk through your home, not a number from a website.
Your Free Alcova Heights Home Value: The House and the Lot
Your Alcova Heights home value depends on two things: the house and the land under it. Many lots here are flatter and bigger than in the neighborhoods around it, and that can matter as much as the kitchen. So we come to you, walk the house and the yard with you, then compare them with recent sales that are truly alike.
It is free, with no obligation. Whether you plan to sell next spring or are only starting to think about it, we will give you a real answer and no pressure.

Why Alcova Heights Homes Vary So Much
Arlington County's Alcova Heights Neighborhood Conservation Plan, accepted in 2014, shows how mixed the houses are. The median home was built in 1954, and 131 homes went up before 1940. The plan lists colonials, bungalows, Cape Cods, Tudors, farmhouses and modern styles, including at least two Sears houses.
The same plan notes that many owners added on instead of moving, and that some smaller houses were torn down and replaced with larger new ones. So an original Cape Cod, the same Cape Cod with an addition and a new house can all sit on one street. Each sells to a different buyer at a different price, and we compare yours only with the ones that match.
Alcova Heights also has townhouses and condos. The county plan names Dundree Knolls, with 96 townhouses, Alcova Row, with 22, and Stratton House, with 122 condominiums. Those homes are in a different market from a detached house right now, and we price them that way.
Prepared or As It Is: Two Numbers, Side by Side
Some Alcova Heights sellers want the house fully prepared before it goes on the market. Others would rather list it as it is, with little or no work done.
We show you two numbers side by side: what the house could sell for prepared, and what it might sell for as it is. Either way, we list it, market it and handle the sale for you. You see both before you decide.
Your County Assessment Is Not Your Sale Price
Every January, Arlington County mails an assessment notice. The county says it assesses property at 100% of fair market value as of January 1, and its 2026 residential assessments were based on sales from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2025.
For taxes, a fixed date makes sense. For selling, it means the number is built on sales that can be more than a year old by the time you list. The county also has not seen your addition, your updates or your yard. Think of it as a reference, not a price tag.
What the Alcova Heights Market Is Doing Now
Alcova Heights is in ZIP code 22204. Homes there that sold from July through September 2026 took an average of 54 days to sell and received about 97.2% of their original list price, according to Bright MLS. The median sale price was $625,000, up 0.8% from a year earlier.
The median covers every type of home in the ZIP code, so a detached house on a big Alcova Heights lot can be far from it in either direction. Type matters a lot right now: in September 2026, NVAR reported condo and townhouse listings across its Northern Virginia region up 49.7% from a year earlier, while detached listings rose only 5.7%.
Arlington County had about 3.9 months of supply in September 2026, up from 3.0 a year earlier. Buyers have more to look at and less reason to rush, so pricing right from the first day matters more than it did a year ago.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Alcova Heights home value really free?
Yes. It is free and there is no obligation. You don't have to be ready to sell, and we will never push you to list before you are ready.
Does a bigger lot raise my Alcova Heights home's value?
Often it helps, because buyers see room for a yard, an addition or a new home. We compare your home with recent 22204 sales on similar lots so the number reflects it.
Why is my Arlington County assessment different from what my home would sell for?
The county assesses value as of January 1, using older sales. For 2026, residential assessments used sales from September 2024 through August 2025. We use the latest sales and look at your actual house.
I own a townhouse or condo in Alcova Heights. Do you value those too?
Yes. We compare it with recent sales of similar townhouses or condos, not with detached houses, because right now they are in a different market.
