     South Arlington

    South Arlington, VA, is a vibrant community known for its mix of affordability, history, and amenities. It includes the downtown Shirlington area, established in 1943, which grew into a bustling shopping and business district in the 1980s that attracted institutions like public media station WETA and the renowned Signature Theater. The housing market offers a range of options, from condominiums and townhomes to single-family houses, typically at more affordable prices than in North Arlington. The area boasts excellent transportation access, with proximity to Route 50, I-395, and DCA, making travel to D.C. and surrounding areas convenient. A key historical highlight is Fairlington, originally developed during World War II to house government and defense workers, now a preserved community with colonial revival architecture.
