Fairlington pairs classic red-brick architecture with leafy courtyards and a neighborly pace, all minutes from major job centers. Tucked just off I-395, it offers quick access to Shirlington for dining and theater, seamless trips to Alexandria, and retail hubs in Pentagon City. The community’s World War II-era garden-style homes and townhomes create an inviting streetscape that feels cohesive and well cared for, with sidewalks that make evening strolls a daily ritual.
Families appreciate strong local schooling options anchored by Abingdon Elementary School, with language immersion, middle, and high school pathways nearby. Weekends center on the Fairlington Community Center, where playgrounds, sports courts, classes, and open green space bring neighbors together. From spring through fall, the Fairlington Farmers Market sets up with regional produce, baked goods, and community spirit. Runners and cyclists connect easily to the Four Mile Run corridor, linking parks, playing fields, and trails across Arlington.
Commuters benefit from frequent ART bus service to nearby Metro stations, while car-free errands are simplified by neighborhood groceries, cafes, and fitness studios. Evenings might mean a quick walk to The Village at Shirlington for dinner and a show, then a quiet return to tree-canopied streets.
