Metro Public Transportation Rail Service Upscale Nightlife Dining Walkable Schools Family-Friendly

In many ways, Arlington’s Clarendon/Courthouse neighborhood leads a double life. On the one hand, the mix of upscale single-family homes and swanky apartments combined with the super-convenient access to Washington (just a mile away and served by multiple Metro stops) make this an ideal location for DC-area commuters seeking a more suburban home environment. The abundance of parks and playgrounds reflects the family-friendly nature of the community, and the local public schools are among the best in the region. Parts of the neighborhood also contain several corporate high-rises, giving many folks the option of walking to work.

However, Clarendon/Courthouse also has a lively, fun side. The neighborhood is generally known as the nightlife capital of Arlington – the robust bar and club scene along Clarendon Avenue attracts partiers from across the DC area on weekends. The high-end shopping and world-class dining options cater to a population with distinctly cosmopolitan tastes, putting the finest styles and flavors at your fingertips. In short, the neighborhood deftly walks the line between city and suburb, and residents enjoy the best of both worlds.
