Notes on Clarendon:
Clarendon is one of the more popular areas of Arlington County. Clarendon was considered Arlington's downtown in the mid-1900's. Through the later half of the last century, the area went into a bit of a decline as new suburbs were being developed to the west of the Beltway. However, the most recent decade has seen a rebirth in Clarendon as a hip place to live with new and expanded residential and shopping opportunities.
With its own Metro stop, Clarendon is part of the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor of development. The area now has a number of restaurants and night life within easy walking distance of the Metro and neighborhood housing. It's also an area that has been experiencing urban renewal within the past five years with older buildings being razed for new retail and residential construction, especially along Wilson Boulevard. Of special note are the Whole Foods grocery store, the appearance of national chains like Pottery Barn, Crate & Barrell and The Cheescake Factory, without the loss of locally-owned shops.
Clarendon has its own active civic organization, the Clarendon Alliance. Established as a public-private partnership in 1986, the Alliance serves to "promote the health and vitality of Clarendon, Arlington's original downtown commercial district." Among other activities, the Alliance also puts together Clarendon Day every fall, billed as "Arlington's Biggest Party."
High-rise condos, townhomes, and single-family detached homes are all part of the neighborhood mix, with the condos being the newest additions. Condo buildings include Clarendon 1021, The Hartford, The Monroe, The Odyssey, The Phoenix, and The Residences at Station Square. Some single-family detached homes are either being remodeled or rebuilt, or razed completely to make way for new home construction. The townhouses just south of the Crate & Barrel are known as Clarendon Park.
If Clarendon sounds interesting to you, use my portal to search the listings in zip code 22201 (which also covers neighboring areas); no other website can offer you more up-to-date information on all homes listed with any real estate brokerage in the area.
