Why I Moved to Arlington, VA (and Why I Am Moving Back)Why I Moved to Arlington, VA (and Why I Am Moving Back) Last Updated: June 10, 2026 I lived in Arlington for seven years. In 2025, my wife Leah and I found a house we loved so much that we moved down the road to Falls Church City. But we did not sell our Arlington Forest place. We still own it, we
Living With an Open Kitchen, an Island, and a Screened Porch in Arlington, VALiving With an Open Kitchen, an Island, and a Screened Porch in Arlington, VA Last Updated: June 9, 2026 You can tell a lot about what daily life looks like in an Arlington home by how it uses three spaces. The kitchen island. The way the main level connects (or doesn't). And the screened porch off
What North Arlington Looks Like to a Family Moving From DCWhat North Arlington Looks Like to a Family Moving From DC Last Updated: June 6, 2026 If you've been in a DC rowhouse for the last five years and you're starting to think about North Arlington, here's the thing I'd want you to know first. The move is less of a trade than people think. The DC familie

This Bellevue Forest new build has a screened porch with skylights and heaters off the back, a coffered ceiling in the family room, and a walk-in pantry built for serious cooking. We haven’t even gotten to the primary.

A recently delivered 7,700 sqft custom build in Bellevue Forest. 7 beds, 9 baths, listed at $3,499,995.
▫️ Bellevue Forest sits just north of the Washington Golf and Tennis Club in North Arlington. Larger lots than most of the area, mature trees, and a few of the quietest streets in the county.
▫️ Four finished levels by MR Custom Homes. 10-foot main floor ceilings, wide-plank white oak throughout, professional-grade appliances, custom inset cabinetry, and the walk-in pantry. The family room has a coffered ceiling and a wood-burning fireplace. The screened porch off the back has skylights and heaters, which turns it into a three-season living room.
▫️ Seven bedrooms, all with en-suite baths. The primary has dual walk-ins, heated floors, and a soaking tub. The top-floor loft has its own full bath (works as guest space, an au pair suite, or a quiet office). The lower level adds a rec room with wet bar, a fitness room, and the 7th bedroom. Built-in audio runs throughout, and the elevator is already roughed in.
▫️ School cluster: Jamestown / Williamsburg / Yorktown.
One important note: 7,700 square feet across four levels is a lot of house. The screened porch, the rec room, and the loft mean you’re rarely all in the same room. That’s either a feature or a bug depending on how your family operates.
Established North Arlington neighborhoods like Bellevue Forest don’t see new custom builds at this scale very often. When they do, they don’t sit on the market long.
📍 Bellevue Forest, North Arlington. Walking distance to the Washington Golf and Tennis Club, minutes to the GW Parkway and downtown DC.

📍 @forfive in Courthouse is the cookie answer. We end up there way too often when we are already in the neighborhood for coffee (Leah's standing order is a cookie no matter the time of day). Their cookies turn a quick coffee stop into accidental dessert.
📍 @sfoglinapasta in Rosslyn has gelato and softserve, which is not what you would guess from an Italian restaurant mostly known for its pasta. The dessert is its own reason to go.
📍 @bakeshopva has ice cream cookie sandwiches that are exactly what they sound like, which is the highest possible compliment.

What does $3.85M buy in North Arlington? A new Classic Cottages build in Old Glebe with a saltwater pool and a walkout basement to the patio.
👉 Want all the listing details?
💬 Follow us, then comment THURSDAY and we’ll send the listing link to your DMs.
A new Classic Cottages build in Old Glebe. 6 beds, 8 baths, 6,739 sqft, listed at $3,850,000.
▫️ Old Glebe sits in North Arlington by the Washington Golf and Country Club. Quiet streets, larger lots, nature trails nearby. The lot here is about 18,000 sqft, bigger than the typical Arlington new-build parcel.
▫️ Built across three levels with Thermador appliances, quartz counters, an oversized island, butler’s pantry, wide-plank hardwoods, and a wood-burning fireplace.
▫️ The backyard: a 20-by-40 heated saltwater pool with auto cover, a built-in grill, and a screened porch facing the pool. A full bathroom on the lower level sits off the pool access.
▫️ Six bedrooms, all with en-suites: a main-level guest suite, the primary upstairs with dual walk-ins and a private rooftop deck, three more upper-level bedrooms, and a fifth in the walkout basement. Plus a rec room with wet bar and a fitness room.
▫️ School cluster: Jamestown / Williamsburg / Yorktown.
One important note: saltwater pools are less day-to-day work than chlorine, since the salt cell generates chlorine automatically. The recurring cost is replacing the generator cell every 3-7 years. Just something to keep in mind!
Backyard pools and new construction at this scale don’t usually come together in North Arlington.
📍 Old Glebe, North Arlington. Walking distance to the Washington Golf and Country Club, minutes to the GW Parkway and downtown DC.

Where are the best places to watch the World Cup in Arlington, VA? Ireland's Four Courts in Courthouse, Courthaus Social right around the corner, and Hyde Social in Clarendon are the three Arlington spots showing every match this summer.

📍 @irelandsfourcourts
Ireland's Four Courts on Wilson Boulevard in Courthouse was just named America's Best Soccer Bar by Men in Blazers in April. Over 30,000 fans voted, and Clint Dempsey came in for a live podcast taping to make it official. They are showing every World Cup match live with sound, and seven supporter clubs share the room during matches, from Arsenal and Chelsea to Liverpool and AC Milan. Hours vary by match week, so check their Instagram for the most accurate schedules and hours. The back patio doubles as overflow once the bar fills, with its own TVs and bar.
📍 @courthaussocial
One of our Local Perks Partners - Courthaus Social is right around the corner with every game across 10 TVs. We were standing right outside it while filming this. If Four Courts is at capacity or the line is just too long, this is definitely your move! They have a TV pushed up to the window, so if you prefer to sit outside, you can still keep an eye on the game.
📍 @hydesocial_
Hyde Social in Clarendon is showing every World Cup match as well, with one of Clarendon's better patios for the afternoon kickoffs. We posted a reel about it last week if you want a better look to scope out the vibe!
The 2026 World Cup runs through July 19. These three are your best Arlington bets for catching every minute.

@mejanarestaurant sits right at the corner of Clarendon and Adams, across from the Courthouse Metro, and the patio out front is the kind of spot you settle into for a long, slow dinner now that the evenings are warm. They had us in to try a spread, and we worked through a lot of the menu.
The Mejana Grill was our favorite, three skewers of chicken, lamb, and kafta over an actual little grill at the table, with toum, rice, and vegetables. The hot sampler (fried kibbeh, cheese rolls, falafel) and the butter-lemon-garlic octopus were right behind it. The labneh and grape leaves were exactly what you want them to be, and we finished with baklawa and kanafeh (the warm shredded phyllo and sweet cheese one that I'm still thinking about).
Something we didn't expect to love as much as we did: they cook clean. Organic chicken, grass-fed beef and lamb, avocado and olive oil instead of seed oils, no MSG. You can taste the difference!
The owners and staff could not have been warmer, which is its own reason to go back.
📍 Mejana - Courthouse, Arlington VA
Is there a restaurant in Arlington you want us to try next? Drop it in the comments 💛

We just finished Off Campus and immediately started placing the whole Briar U crew around Arlington, Virginia.
Garrett's sneaking in one more skate before anyone notices. Hannah's sitting at a table in Northside Social with her journal and a latte. Dean somehow turned a quick drink into a full night at Spider Kelly's. And Tucker showed up to Gravelly Point with a charcuterie board nobody asked for but everyone appreciated.
Did we get them right? Drop your takes in the comments and tell us where you'd actually find your favorite character in Arlington 💛
