Neighborhood History & Nearby Areas
This area began as Fostoria, a subdivision laid out in 1890 after the railroad came through. More subdivisions followed, including Over-Lee Knolls in 1926 and 1927, two Richmond Hill sections in 1946 and 1947, and Highland Park Village in 1947. Many builders put up houses here from 1890 to about 1960, in styles from Queen Anne and Craftsman to Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival and Modern.
The Highland Park-Overlee Knolls Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. Virginia's historic resources office calls it one of the best examples in Arlington of how federal housing policy shaped neighborhood planning. Arlington County notes that a National Register listing is an honor and does not add special restrictions for owners.
Buyers who like this area often look at Westover just to the south, too. Which one fits is a matter of preference.
Homes Here: Market & Home Types
Because the houses were built over about 70 years and many have been expanded or replaced, size and condition vary a lot from one house to the next. Age, size, lot, updates and how close a house is to Langston Boulevard or the Metro all affect the price.

Detached-home sellers face less new competition than condo sellers this fall. NVAR reported that in September 2026, detached listings in its Northern Virginia region were up 5.7% from a year earlier, against 49.7% more condos and townhouses. Bright MLS reported Arlington's median sale price for July through September 2026 up 11.1% from a year earlier, and about 3.9 months of supply in September, up from 3.0.
With so much variety on one street, an online estimate can miss by a lot. For a price built from real sales near you, ask for a home value report.
Schools, Parks and Getting Around
The East Falls Church station on the Orange and Silver lines is close to the south end of the area, and I-66 and Langston Boulevard connect it to Rosslyn, Tysons and downtown Washington. Parkhurst Park, the Overlee Community Association pool on Langston Boulevard, and the shops in nearby Westover are part of daily life here.
Most homes here are served by Yorktown High School and by Swanson or Williamsburg Middle School. The elementary school varies by street, and Nottingham, Cardinal and Tuckahoe elementary schools all serve parts of the area. School boundaries change, so check the current Arlington Public Schools map for any specific address.
