Relocating to Barcroft
FaceTime tours, neighborhood visits and a move timed around your new job, and the house you left behind handled for you.
Relocating to Barcroft: Room to Breathe in Arlington
Relocating to Barcroft brings you to a neighborhood with big lots on many streets, a park inside its borders and a paved trail along its edge. Arlington Hall West Park covers about 7 acres at 290 South Taylor Street, and the Four Mile Run Trail runs along Barcroft and connects to the W&OD Trail. Route 50, George Mason Drive and Columbia Pike all border the neighborhood.
At its center is the Barcroft Community House, a 1908 schoolhouse on the National Register of Historic Places. If you are moving here for work, we help you find the right home before you arrive.
How We Help You Buy From Afar
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 walk-throughs. We tour Barcroft homes with you live, inside and out, including the lot and the condition of an older house.
- A schedule that matches your job. We line up the search, the offer and the closing with your start date.
- A real look around when you visit. We show you the park, the trail, Columbia Pike and the everyday places for groceries and meals.
- Everything any buyer gets. A consultation, 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.
Getting to Know Barcroft's Homes
According to the Barcroft School and Civic League, the central part of Barcroft has homes built from the 1880s to the 1980s, and starting in 1918, builder Walter O'Hara and his son Robert built several hundred of them. Today you will see colonials on big lots, Cape Cods, craftsman houses, farmhouses and new construction, plus duplexes and apartment buildings.
With so many older homes, the inspection is important, even when you are far away. We can coordinate it, or you can schedule it yourself, and either way we go over the results with you and advise you on how to proceed.
Barcroft is served by Barcroft Elementary School and Kenmore Middle School. Boundaries change, so check the current Arlington Public Schools boundary map for any address.
