Pentagon City Homes For Sale, Arlington VA
Pentagon City is an urbanized neighborhood in the southernmost reaches of Arlington, Virginia, close to the Alexandria border. It’s very close to the Potomac River and named after the Pentagon—the five-sided headquarters of the United States Department of Defense. As such, the community is a popular real estate market for those working in government and related industries. But it’s a lot more than just that.
This is a community that is markedly different from many of its historic neighbors. It was largely undeveloped land prior to the construction of the Pentagon complex in the early 1940s. For the next 10 years, further construction in the area tended to be industrial and commercial usage, including a General Electric manufacturing plant. But that all changed in the 1960s when some high-rise apartment buildings began cropping up. That prompted a continuing trend of apartments, condos and retail outlets. The upscale Fashion Center at Pentagon City, also referred to as Pentagon Mall, was delivered in 1989 with approximately 170 retailers and restaurants. Other popular complexes include Pentagon Row with stores, dining and luxury residences.
