Topping the charts of an ARLnow poll is truly such a special accolade. 👉 Want more hyper local recommendations? 💬 Follow us, then comment MOVING for exclusive discounts, local recommendations, and a full breakdown on every neighborhood in Arlington. If you've been following along the last couple weeks, you may have seen that we were in contention to be named the Best Realtor for Sellers in Arlington, VA poll by @‌arlnow. We’re super excited to share that we have received the most votes out of any other realtor. ARLnow's polls aren’t a corporate ranking, a calculation of the highest closed volume, or a paid placement… It's a community vote, which means there were more people willing to stick their neck out to recommend us than any other realtor in Arlington. And that means more to us than any other accolade or award ever could. So - some thanks are in order! 🏘️ To our Arlington community: Whether you were one of the 850+ families we've helped buy or sell a home through The Davenport Group, or you're a Discover Arlington follower who sticks around for our hyper-local content... THANK YOU! The fact that you all recognize us as industry leaders who can support you with a major milestone, in one of the most competitive real estate markets in the nation, is such a massive honor. That genuinely means everything to us. 🤝 To our team behind the scenes: Thank you for your dedication to every transaction, every e-mail, every conversation, every video you make... You all don't get nearly enough credit for the work you do day in and day out, and this recognition is really yours more than ours. When we started this 10 years ago, we never could’ve imagined growing to this size. You all are the reason we’ve been able to build this community. We are so so so grateful. #arlingtonva #discoverarlington #thankyouarlington #thedavenportgroup #dmv

If you are looking for a new hair and makeup salon in Arlington, VA, I’ve found the place. Marwa opened Ombre early so I wouldn't be late to our new branding shoot. I'd only just met her, and she did it without a second thought. Want 20% off your first visit at Ombre? It's open to all of our followers, just use the code “Discover Arlington” at your appointment! I don't do the full hair-and-makeup chair very often (Blake will confirm I'm low-maintenance to a fault). Marwa made it easy, and the look held the entire shoot. 13 years in business, named one of Arlington's Top 10 salons for 2025, and she covers all of it: color is her specialty, plus wedding hair and makeup, extensions, men's cuts, and permanent cosmetic makeup. One catch: they're closed Sundays and Mondays, so book ahead. The salon is a short walk from the Virginia Square Metro! And in case you missed it earlier: the code Discover Arlington gets all our followers 20% off a first visit at Ombre.

Truly one of the most incredible homes we’ve ever toured. 👉 Want all the listing details? 💬 Follow us, then comment THURSDAY and we’ll send the listing link straight to your DMs. A restored 1897 plantation-style Colonial in Rock Spring. 6 beds, 6.5 baths, and after dropping $125K, this is now listed at $2,850,000. ▫️ Rock Spring sits in North Arlington with one light to DC and easy access to the GW Parkway and the Potomac. A quiet stretch of larger homes on bigger lots, though this one’s lot is on the smaller side (more on that below). ▫️ The land was first granted to the Robertson family by Lord Fairfax in 1724. The Weaver family of W.T. Weaver & Sons Hardware in Georgetown bought it in the 1880s and built the current home in 1897, holding it for 80 years (comment “Thursday” for the full listing). ▫️ Recently restored and expanded. New systems throughout, original 1897 leaded glass windows still in place. During the Union defense of Washington in 1861, the property’s original 1812 cabin briefly served as Maj. Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock’s field headquarters. ▫️ School cluster is the Jamestown / Williamsburg / Yorktown High School One important note: the lot itself is 0.262 acres, which is on the smaller side for a $2.85M Rock Spring property. The seller is offering buyers first dibs on a roughly 10,000 sqft adjacent lot at $1M, plus a $50K credit toward outbuildings or a garage. We’ve toured a lot of Arlington homes this year, and none of them came with a 1724 Lord Fairfax land grant attached to the property records. 📍 Rock Spring, North Arlington. One traffic light away from DC, minutes to the GW Parkway and the Potomac. As always, our IG Stories got the first look 👀 💬 Follow us, then comment THURSDAY and we’ll send the listing link straight to your DMs. ✨ Listed by Christine Morgan | TTR Sotheby’s International Realty #tourthursday #arlingtonva #rockspring #birchlandestate #yorktownhigh

From this driveway you can be at the Pentagon, in Old Town, or in downtown DC before most commuters finish their first coffee. 👉 Want all the listing details? 💬 Follow us, then comment THURSDAY and we'll send the listing link straight to your DMs. An end-unit townhome at The Sanctuary at Stonegate, in Alexandria's West End. 3 beds, 4 baths, $949,900. ▫️ The commute math is the headline here: direct access to I-395, minutes to the Pentagon, and King Street straight into Old Town. For a Pentagon-or-DC professional who's tired of building the day around traffic, the location does serious work (comment "Thursday" for the listing link). ▫️ It's an end unit bordered by parkland on two sides, which is why it's actually called "The Sanctuary." Instead of sharing walls on both ends, the only thing next door is trees. ▫️ The backyard runs like a private spa: a hot tub, a year-round swim spa, and a fully fenced patio. The lower level keeps going with a wood-paneled media room, a projector with an automatic screen and blackout shades, and a dedicated fitness area. ▫️ A few of the big-ticket items are brand new per the listing: the primary bath was fully redesigned in November 2025, and the HVAC serving the main and lower levels was replaced the same month. One important note: at 3 bedrooms it's not the biggest footprint on the block, but with an attached two-car garage, a private driveway, and a finished walk-out lower level, the usable space lives much larger than the bedroom count suggests. If you ask us, the commute access paired with a swim-spa-and-hot-tub backyard under $950K is one of the more surprising combinations we've toured this spring. 📍 Direct access to I-395, minutes to the Pentagon, a short drive to Bradlee Shopping Center and Clyde's at Mark Center, and King Street straight into Old Town. 🏡 Open Houses: Sat May 30 (11am-1pm), Sun May 31 (12-2pm) As always, our IG Stories got the first look 👀 💬 Follow us, then comment THURSDAY and we'll send the listing link straight to your DMs. ✨ Listed by Meriem Ouenniche | TTR Sotheby's International Realty #discoverarlington #tourthursday #alexandriava #pentagoncommute #endunittownhome
