Buying a Home in Arlington Village: Garden Condos Off the Pike
Buying a home in Arlington Village means buying a condo in a 1939 garden-style community just off Columbia Pike at South Edgewood Street. The two-story brick buildings sit around lawns and trees, and the community has a swimming pool, tennis courts, a community space, extra storage, bike storage and a management office on site. It has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 2003.
It is a common choice for a first home and for downsizing from a house. Units differ in size, floor, light and updates, and we help you compare them with your budget and plans.

Condo Buyers Have More Choice This Fall
Condo buyers have more to choose from than a year ago. NVAR reported that in September 2026, condo and townhouse listings in its Northern Virginia region were up 49.7% from a year earlier, compared with 5.7% for detached homes. In ZIP code 22204, homes that sold from July through September 2026 averaged 54 days on the market and about 97.2% of their original list price, according to Bright MLS, and Arlington County had about 3.9 months of supply in September 2026, up from 3.0 a year before.
With more choice, you may have more room to negotiate. Before every offer, we prepare a home value report from recent sales of similar units in Arlington Village and nearby, so you know what a condo is worth before you decide what to pay.
What to Check Before You Buy
With a condo, you are buying into the association as well as the unit. Look at the monthly fee and what it covers, the rules, the reserve fund, any planned special assessments and the condition of the buildings. We help you go through the condo documents before you commit.
Inside the unit, the home inspection shows you the condition of the kitchen, bathrooms, windows, heating and cooling and more. We can arrange it, or you can schedule it yourself, and we go through the report with you afterward. If a unit is not right for you, we will say so, even if it means walking away. We would rather lose a sale than see you buy the wrong home.
