Arlington Heights offers a well-balanced, residential feel with quick connections to the best of Arlington. Tree-lined blocks of 1930s–1950s homes, thoughtful infill, and sidewalks make everyday life easy, while the Columbia Pike corridor delivers international dining, indie coffee, and the beloved Arlington Cinema & Drafthouse. Bordered by Penrose and Alcova Heights, and just a short hop to Pentagon City, the neighborhood puts shopping, Metro access, and regional job hubs within minutes. South of Columbia Pike, nearby Douglas Park adds additional green space and bike routes.
Daily recreation revolves around the Thomas Jefferson Community Center and surrounding fields, where pickup games, playground time, and weekend leagues keep calendars full. Columbia Pike’s year-round events and markets bring neighbors together, while local bus lines and bike lanes simplify commuting and nights out across the county.
Families appreciate strong public school options. Younger learners attend Alice West Fleet Elementary, known for its modern campus and dual-language programming, while many middle graders head to Thomas Jefferson Middle School. High schoolers commonly enroll at Wakefield, and career-minded students can tap specialized programs at the Arlington Career Center. For elementary needs, explore Alice West Fleet Elementary School to learn about current offerings and enrollment.
