Allencrest Homes for Sale, Arlington, VA

Allencrest is a smallish community in the western section of Arlington, Virginia, bordered by Lee Highway on the south and extending just west of I-66. It is generally considered a subdivision of East Falls Church, with the Williamsburg neighborhood to the north. You’ll find a nice cross-section of homes for sale here, with both old and new properties.

This area was once rural farmland, with large portions of land owned by Samuel Birch—a colonel in the War of 1812. Shortly after the war ended, Birch built a cabin on top of a hill at the corner of Powhatan and N. 26th streets. Today, a three-story house circa 1890 stands at the same site. The house—like the neighborhood itself—is named Allencrest, after its builder, William Allen.

But despite the early history, widespread residential development would have to wait until around 1940, with construction slowing down in the 1960s but not ceasing altogether. This is a community with a little bit of everything when it comes to architectural style. There’s Colonials, Cape Cods, a variety of cottages, mid-century Ramblers and Split-levels and other contemporary designs. Also present are large trophy homes resulting from tear-downs.

Homes for sale range from around $400,000 to just over a million dollars in Allencrest. The streets are lines with trees and Tuckahoe Park is nearby. Residents are also close to the East Falls Church Metro. Those seeking condos for sale shouldn’t bother with Allencrest, however—it’s all single-family residences. That said, townhouses aren’t far away, just west of Sycamore in East Falls Church.

Nearly two centuries have passes since Samuel Birch built his cabin atop the hill. These days, Allencrest is a popular suburb with plenty of nearby conveniences. It’s upscale without being wildly expensive, and part of an area that continues to grow its appeal with commuters. For more information, call District Partners Real Estate, LLC, at 202-798-3600.
