Columbia Forest blends leafy streets, mid-century homes, and garden-style condos with the energy of the Columbia Pike corridor. Residents enjoy an easy-going, commuter-friendly lifestyle, with frequent ART bus service connecting to Metro hubs and the Pentagon via the official Arlington Transit network. Weekends bring global eats along the Pike, coffee stops, and quick access to the shops and stages of nearby Shirlington.
Outdoor lovers have a lot to work with. The paved, creekside Four Mile Run Trail is a neighborhood fixture for runners and cyclists, while multi-field Barcroft Park offers diamond sports, tennis, and green space for picnics. Community programs, a full gymnasium, and classes for all ages fill the calendar at the Arlington Mill Community Center, just up the Pike. The vibe is neighborly and practical: block-by-block diversity, mature trees, and everyday conveniences within minutes.
Families appreciate access to Arlington Public Schools; nearby options include Barcroft Elementary School and the comprehensive Wakefield High School, with robust academics, arts, and athletics. Daily logistics are simple thanks to reliable county transit via ART bus, ample bike routes, and straightforward driving to major job centers.
