Arlandria, VA Homes For Sale
The neighborhood of Arlandria, Virginia can be found in the far northern part of Alexandria, right at the Arlington border. Hence, its spelling—a combination of the two names. Add extra props for its lasting glory as the title of the Foo Fighters’ hit song “Arlandria” (the band’s Dave Grohl is a Fairfax County native son).
The quirky, edgy and diverse nature of the community isn’t limited to a post-punk reference. This is a place where you’ll find all sorts of indie businesses and a smorgasbord of international cuisines, including Creole, Sri Lankan, Tex-Mex and more. How about a soulful breakfast haunt like the Waffle Shop?
Add to all of this, a variety of some of the most affordable real estate deals in all of Alexandria, available in different eras and architectural styles. Those hankering for an authentic vintage Craftsman-style cottage might well be in luck here. There’s also old apartment houses that have gone condo and new construction condos and townhouses as well.
