Relocating to Arlington Heights
FaceTime tours, neighborhood visits and a move timed around your new job, and the house you left behind handled for you.
Relocating to Arlington Heights From Out of Town
Relocating to Arlington Heights puts you in the middle of Arlington, between Route 50 and Columbia Pike, with Glebe Road running north to Ballston and I-395 close by for trips to DC, the Pentagon and Reagan National Airport. For a lot of people moving here for a new job, that central spot is the draw.
The hard part is buying from far away, in a neighborhood where houses change from one street to the next. We become your eyes and ears here, so you can make a confident choice without flying in for every showing.
How We Help You Buy From a Distance
The Mike Webb Team is Mike and Claudia Webb, with RE/MAX Allegiance, and we have more than 34 years in real estate. About three out of four of our sales are in Arlington.
- FaceTime tours. We walk each Arlington Heights house with you on FaceTime and show you what photos miss: the stairs in an older colonial, the size of the yard, the street out front.
- A plan built around your job start. We time the search, the offer and the closing to the date your new job begins.
- A neighborhood tour when you visit. We show you around: where to eat, where to get groceries along Columbia Pike, the parks and the everyday places you will use.
- Everything else a buyer gets. A consultation, pre-approval through a lender, a search set up to your criteria, a home value report before every offer, negotiation, inspection help and support through the final walk-through and closing.
Before we tour homes, you get pre-approved through a lender or your own bank or credit union, and we sign a written buyer agreement together so you know exactly how we will work with you.
What to Know About Arlington Heights Homes
Arlington Heights developed between 1909 and 1978, according to the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, so you will see early bungalows, brick Colonial Revivals, Cape Cods, duplexes and new craftsman homes, often side by side. The neighborhood has been a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places since 2008. If you plan changes to a house, check with Arlington County about what applies to that address.
Older homes deserve a close inspection, and we make sure you see the results even from far away. We can coordinate the inspection, or you can schedule it yourself, and either way we go over the results with you and advise you on how to proceed.
Thomas Jefferson Park, where the Arlington County Fair is held every year, and Arlington Heights Park are in the neighborhood. The public schools are Alice West Fleet Elementary School and Thomas Jefferson Middle School. Boundaries change, so check the current Arlington Public Schools boundary map for any address.
The Market You Are Moving Into
Arlington draws buyers. In Bright MLS's Home Demand Index for October 2026, based on September activity, buyer demand in Arlington was rated High (150), second of all the counties and cities in the Washington-area report.
In ZIP code 22204, which includes Arlington 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. You have a little more time than buyers did a year ago, but being pre-approved and ready still matters, especially from a distance.
