Ashton Heights Homes For Sale, Arlington VA
Located in the heart of Arlington, Virginia, Ashton Heights is a National Historic District and a delightful residential neighborhood. Its central locale offers plenty of convenient options for Washington Metro commuters, and its lovely old homes for sale are highly sought after. The logical downside however, is that the active inventory pool is low and prices tend to be high.
Ashton Heights is bordered by Wilson Boulevard on the north, Irving Street on the east, Arlington Boulevard to the south and N. Glebe Street to the west. It is adjacent to the Ballston neighborhood and, in fact, the Ballston Common mall is actually in the very northwestern corner of Ashton Heights.

The earliest existing homes in the community date back as far as 1904, but more substantial development didn’t occur until 1919 when a realtor named Ashton C. Jones bought up 61 acres of land, naming his fledgling project after himself. Additional blocks were added over the next 15 years until the neighborhood filled out to the current boundaries. Homes for sale in Ashton Heights present a potpourri of historic styles, including Colonial Revival, Queen Anne, and a bevy of bungalows and cottages in the Craftsman tradition. There are also a few old apartment buildings that have since converted to condos for sale.
