Addison Heights Homes For Sale, Arlington VA
Located immediately west of Crystal City and Jefferson Davis Highway in Arlington, Virginia is the upscale residential neighborhood of Addison Heights. This oddly-shaped community is also bordered by Pentagon City to the north, Fort Scott Drive to the south and both S. Grant and S. Kent Streets along western side.
Addison Heights goes back quite a number of years and is intrinsically linked with the larger Aurora Highlands area as one of its three original subdivisions, dating to 1896. Originally owned by the Addison Heights Company, residential development began right around the turn of the century, with charming original bungalows built as early as 1904.

Construction in Addison Heights picked up slowly but steadily throughout the following decades. You’ll find numerous examples of historic Colonial Revival, Dutch Colonial Revival, Sears Craftsman, Tudor Revival, American Foursquare and even Spanish Mission Revival dwellings. But perhaps the most unusual construction during the early era came from architect Milton Dana Morrill, who built 13 concrete block homes in 1910, and calling the development “Concrete City.” Seven of these distinctive gabled homes still survive.
Residential development continued through the World War II years and beyond—this community has a wonderful diversity of dwellings, including Cape Cods, ranch-styles and even the mid-century modern design. With tree-lined streets and lots of local pride, this charming enclave truly feels like a small town within a big city, especially with the nearby shops and restaurants in Crystal City and Pentagon City.
Primarily platted as detached single-family homes for sale, residences in Addison Heights have a median real estate price of around $750,000. That makes this one of the more expensive neighborhoods in Arlington. With block parties, holiday events and organized potlucks, this “Old Arlington” neighborhood is close to the Crystal City Metro, the Reagan National Airport and the delightful Virginia Highlands Park.
