Buying a Home in Lyon Village
The right home, at the right price, with your eyes open, from the first conversation to closing day.
Buying a Home in Lyon Village: Older Houses a Walk From Clarendon
Buying a home in Lyon Village puts you in a 1923 neighborhood in ZIP code 22201, just north of Clarendon and Courthouse, with Lyon Village Park, James Hunter Park and the Clarendon and Courthouse Metro stations close by.
Most homes are single-family: Colonial Revivals, Craftsman bungalows, Tudors, Cape Cods and kit houses from the 1920s through the 1940s, plus newer houses, with a few condos near the edges. We help you compare them with your budget and the way you want to live.

The Arlington Market for Buyers Right Now
Single-family houses, which make up most of Lyon Village, are still the tightest part of the market. Across Northern Virginia, NVAR found only 5.7% more detached homes listed in September 2026 than a year before, while condo and townhouse listings jumped 49.7%.
You do have a little more breathing room overall. Bright MLS counted about 3.9 months of supply in Arlington County in September 2026, compared with 3.0 the year before, even as the county's median sale price for July through September climbed 11.1% from a year earlier. Being ready to act when the right house appears still matters here.
We pull recent sales of similar Lyon Village houses before you make any offer and show you the numbers, so your price is based on facts, not a guess.
Before You Buy an Older Lyon Village House
Many of these houses are close to 100 years old. Have the inspector check the basement for water and look closely at the foundation, roof, windows, wiring, plumbing and heating and cooling. Some older houses still have original features such as plaster walls, older pipes or a chimney, so ask what has been updated. If there is an addition, ask when it was built and whether it had permits.
We can arrange the home inspection, or you can schedule it yourself, and we go over the report with you afterward. If a home is wrong for you, we will tell you, even if it means walking away.
