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

Most Rosslyn condos face directly into another building. This one faces south, has 9-foot ceilings, and you can see actual sky from the living room.

A south-facing 2-bed, 2-bath at 1800 Wilson Blvd in Rosslyn. 1,047 sqft, 9-foot ceilings, and it just hit the market at $735,000.
▫️ 1800 Wilson Blvd is in the heart of Rosslyn, blocks from both Rosslyn and Courthouse Metro. South-facing means real light into the living room, not just into another building's facade across the way.
▫️ Inside: open floor plan, 9-foot ceilings, hardwood floors running into both bedrooms. Center island kitchen with counter seating, granite counters, soft-close wood cabinetry. Custom Elfa closets in both bedrooms, walk-in in the primary.
▫️ Building amenities: attended front desk, fitness center, package room, bike storage, business center, courtyard with a fire pit. One parking space conveys, which matters more than it sounds in Rosslyn.
▫️ Outside the front door: Sfoglina, Maman Bakery, Compass Coffee, Tupelo Honey, and South Block. Target a few blocks west. Two Metro stations, the GW Parkway, and the bridge to Georgetown.
One important note: 1,047 sqft is condo-tight. The 9-foot ceilings, open floor plan, and custom Elfa closets make it work harder than the number suggests. If you want a 3-bed family layout, this isn't it.
If your wishlist is walkable to the Metro, light-filled, move-in ready, and a bridge ride from Georgetown, this is the one to bookmark.
📍 1800 Wilson Blvd, Rosslyn. Blocks from two Metros, the bridge to Georgetown, and the trails along the Potomac.

✨PIPPIN at Signature Theatre is the best date night we've had in a long time. Here's how to steal it.

This production is so unique (and funny too). The audience is immersed into the company, not in a clap-along way, actually part of the show. The music is written by Stephen Schwartz, the same person who wrote WICKED, which means we knew it will be good. We’ve been humming the songs ever since.
How to make a full night of it in Shirlington:
🎭 PIPPIN at Signature Theatre: The Tony-winning theatre right in the Village at Shirlington. The choreography, the costumes, the set: we were locked in start to finish.
🍸 Drinks or food: First walk Campbell Avenue for happy hour or brunch before the show and make it a real evening, not just two hours in a seat.
🍴 Or skip the walk!: There's a bar and restaurant inside the theatre itself. Dinner before, drinks at intermission, no coats required.
🎟️ See PIPPIN now through July 26. We'd book a seat ahead of time if you want one.
Where's your go-to for a night out in Arlington that needs to feel a little more special? 💛

Arlington Magazine named us the Face of Arlington Homes and Lifestyle in their 2026 Faces issue, and we're still a little stunned to see our names in print next to so many other amazing members of our community!
It's a funny title to sit with, because the whole reason Discover Arlington exists is that we're not really the face of anything. We're the people who answer the "what are the best restaurants in Arlington" text or the “where are the best places to live in Arlington” text.
We started this page in 2016 with one photo and zero plan. The bet was simple: help people fall for Arlington before they ever think about buying here, and the rest takes care of itself. Ten years and 65,000 of you later, that's still the entire strategy. The restaurant posts, the neighborhood breakdowns, the event guides... that IS the real estate business, because that’s how we connect with this community.
So whether you're one of the 850+ families we've moved or you've just never unfollowed, thank you. We are SO grateful for your support.

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.

Looking for the most authentic Italian brunch in Arlington, and one the kids are actually welcome at? Rosslyn has it 🍳
👉 Been to Sfoglina? 💬 Tell us your favorite dish in the comments.
Sfoglina just launched a Saturday brunch, and it’s the real thing. We worked through a cacio e pepe omelet, a Neapolitan shakshuka, an organic raspberry waffle, and the Sfoglina Caesar. You can still order pasta (you’ll see the glass room where they hand-roll it a few feet from your table), but the main menu leans into proper breakfast.
The warm coffee cake deserves its own sentence. We’ve had a lot of coffee cake in Arlington. This might be the best.
It’s one block from the Rosslyn Metro, under the office tower at 1100 Wilson, bright and easy and genuinely fine with a table full of kids. The strawberry and vanilla gelato sealed it for the little ones, the espresso martini sealed it for us.
My must-orders: the cacio e pepe omelet, the Neapolitan shakshuka, and that coffee cake (I’m still thinking about it). The kids would tell you the gelato.
📍 Sfoglina Rosslyn - Arlington, VA

You walk through this house and forget which side of the windows you’re on. Donald Lethbridge designed it that way in 1952.
👉 Want all the listing details?
💬 Follow us, then comment THURSDAY and we’ll send the listing link straight to your DMs.
A 1952 Lethbridge-designed mid-century modern in Dover Crystal. 6 beds, 6 baths, and it just hit the market at $2,899,000.
▫️ Dover Crystal sits in North Arlington, on a quiet cul-de-sac with no thru traffic. 0.57 acres backing to trees, which is double or triple what most Arlington lots come with at this price point. Sweeping views toward Rosslyn, downtown DC, and the National Cathedral from the main living areas, best when the leaves are down.
▫️ Lethbridge was an acclaimed mid-century modern architect in the DC area. The 1952 design features cantilevered overhangs engineered to welcome winter sunlight while shielding from the higher summer sun, walls of windows that dissolve the line between inside and out, and stone floors that flow from the interior into outdoor terraces. On a sunny day, most of the lights stay off!
▫️ The renovation: the current owners added a roof over what used to be the original exterior atrium, turning it into the heart of the house. The 1950s sliding doors are still in place, hidden steel beams open the spaces, and the original windows were replaced with high-performance insulated glass that kept the sightlines.
▫️ Schools are the Taylor / Dorothy Hamm / Yorktown cluster.
One important note: this house is for sure not for everybody. Each room is its own distinct space rather than one continuous great room, and the kitchen is tucked off the main living areas the way 1950s design intended. If you want a 6,000 sqft new craftsman with everything open, this isn’t that. If you want a house where every material decision was deliberate, this is exactly that.
📍 Dover Crystal, North Arlington. Cul-de-sac, backs to trees, minutes to the Metro, the GW Parkway, and the Potomac.

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.
