Shirlington

One of our absolute favorite areas in all of Arlington, this up and coming village boasts trendy and eclectic restaurants and shops. It's dubbed the urban arts and entertainment district of Arlington, Virginia. The reason we adore this charming town? There is a restaurant for everyone's taste including Italian, Greek, Thai, Japanese, Hawaiian, Indian, Irish, American, Wine Bars, Breweries and more!

Located in the southeast corner of Arlington County, bordering Fairfax County and the city of Alexandria, Shirlington is one of the more affordable places to live in Arlington. While Shirlington does not have a metro stop, there is a metro bus that runs from Shirlington into Washington, D.C. making stops at the Pentagon and Farragut West Metro stops.

If you are looking to buy your first home, we would highly recommend looking in Shirlington!
