Selling Your Home in Alcova Heights

The Mike Webb Team is Mike and Claudia Webb, with RE/MAX Allegiance. Over more than 34 years we have helped more than 2,500 families buy and sell homes. About three out of four of our sales are in Arlington, and over the 12 months from October 2025 through September 2026 we listed 11 homes in ZIP code 22204, which includes Alcova Heights.

Over the 12 months that ended in September 2026, 11 of our 24 listings were on the market 10 days or fewer. Every home and every market is different, and we never promise a result, but a house that is ready and priced right gives buyers fewer reasons to wait.

Many Alcova Heights owners have been in their homes for a long time, and getting a full house ready can feel like too much. Claudia handles the plan, the crews, the timeline and the marketing, and Mike and Claudia negotiate every offer for you together.

Micheal Lowney put it this way: “We only had to focus on packing and they handled the rest.”

Arlington County's Alcova Heights Neighborhood Conservation Plan, accepted by the County Board in 2014, gives a good picture of the houses here. The median home was built in 1954, and 131 homes were built before 1940. The plan describes a mix of colonials, bungalows, Cape Cods, Tudors, farmhouses and modern styles, including at least two Sears houses.

The same plan notes that many owners have added on instead of moving, and that some smaller houses have been torn down and replaced with new ones. You have a choice too: prepare the house before it goes on the market, or list it as it is. We can show you two numbers side by side: what the house could sell for prepared, and what it might sell for as it is, with little or no work done. Either way, we list it, market it and handle the sale for you, so you can compare the two before you decide.

Buyers also notice the setting: tree-lined streets, Alcova Heights Park with its 13 acres of fields and courts, Columbia Pike at the south edge and Route 50 at the north. Alcova Heights is served by Barcroft Elementary School and Thomas Jefferson Middle School, and we point buyers to the current Arlington Public Schools boundary map.

The market has slowed from the spring. In ZIP code 22204, which includes Alcova Heights, homes 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. Arlington County had about 3.9 months of supply in September 2026, up from 3.0 a year earlier. Detached houses face less new competition than condos and townhouses: 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%.
