Fairlington A.K.A. Pleasantville in South Arlington, VA
May 16th, 2007 Categories: Buying, Fairlington, Keller Williams
There is a quaint little village of condominiums known as Fairlington in South Arlington. It is a community of condos with several in the form of a traditional townhome (in style/appearance). Specifically it is situated in the southern most corner of Arlington, just as you enter Alexandria. For that matter, part of the neighborhood is enclosed by Quaker lane and on the other side of Quaker lane is where Alexandria begins. For those in the area is its walking distance to Shirlington.
I coveted the neighborhood for many years before I could finally afford to buy. It was 1998 when I took possession of my first unit- an end unit -townhouse style with a finished basement, 2 bedroom, & 2 bath. I raised my dog, continued to court my lovely girlfriend (now wife) and learned the principles of homeownership. It was about 3 years later that my wife and decided the suburbs of Reston, VA were more our style for raising a family.
I have continued to invest in Fairlington and have much success in the equity gains. I have benefited from mostly military based tenants (the Pentagon is 2.5 miles down the road (direct shot via 395)) and will forever be enchanted by the lure of this well maintained and properly preserved historic site within the community. Please check this out for more information.
