The right home, at the right price, with your eyes open, from the first conversation to closing day.
Buying in Foxcroft Heights: Be Ready When One Comes Up
Foxcroft Heights is a tiny pocket of South Arlington's ZIP code 22204, three short streets of brick houses from the late 1930s and 1940s just north of Columbia Pike. With so few homes, one may not come up often, so it helps to be ready.
That means a pre-approval in hand, a clear idea of what you need, and an alert set for the neighborhood and nearby areas such as Arlington View and Penrose, so you can move quickly when the right house appears.

What This Fall Means for House Buyers
House buyers have fewer new choices than condo buyers this fall. NVAR reported 5.7% more detached homes for sale in its Northern Virginia region in September 2026 than a year earlier, against 49.7% more condos and townhouses. Arlington had about 3.9 months of supply that month, up from 3.0, per Bright MLS.
Bright MLS reported Arlington's median sale price for July through September 2026 up 11.1% from a year earlier. A well-kept house close to the Pentagon can still draw interest, so a strong first offer matters.
Before you offer, we pull the few recent Foxcroft Heights sales and add similar houses nearby, so you know what the home is worth.
What to Check on a 1930s or 1940s Brick House
Ask the age of the roof, windows, furnace, air conditioning and water heater, and ask about the wiring, the electrical panel and the plumbing, since houses this age may still have older systems. Check whether any addition or finished basement had permits, and look for signs of water in the basement.
Every home built before 1978 comes with a lead-based paint disclosure, so read it closely.
A home inspection checks the structure, roof, wiring, plumbing and mechanical systems. Book the inspector yourself or ask us for names, and we will go through the report with you and tell you plainly if a house is not the right one.
