Crystal City Homes For Sale, Arlington VA
From towering glass and steel high-rises to underground shops, Crystal City is one of Arlington, Virginia’s truly unique neighborhoods. It’s also a very active real estate market driven primarily by luxury condos for sale.
Bordered by Pentagon City to the northwest, the Ronald Reagan International Airport to the east and Potomac Yard to the south, Crystal City occupies some prime real estate territory. The community is also very close to the Potomac River. But it wasn’t always an appealing place to live. The area fell was marked by rotting warehouses and industrial decay until developers built a modern office tower in the 1960s, dubbing it the Crystal House. That led to more high-rises connected by underground tunnels. And, those subterranean connectors inspired the creation of a huge “turn-of-the-century” underground shopping village known as the Crystal City Shops with faux “cobblestone streets” and old-fashioned store windows.

More than 50 years after the first office tower was built, Crystal City continues to evolve. These days, there is a new emphasis on above-ground restaurants and greenspace. Put it all together and the overall effect is quite fascinating. This modern live, work and play environment has everything one could possibly need—offices, above-ground and below-ground stores and restaurants, the Market Basket grocery store with its awesome produce and organic goods, and so much more.
A major part of any great community is its residential properties, of course. You’ll find contemporary luxury condos with floor-to-ceiling windows, amazing views and tons of amenities. But you can also find some single-family homes for sale around the edges of the neighborhood, especially toward the west.
Crystal City is currently home to around 17,000 residents, with that number tripling during the day for workers. Part of Arlington’s forward-looking vision for this interesting neighborhood is the anticipation of an additional 8,500 full-time residents by 2040. The neighborhood is also spreading its wings with attractive outdoor connecting spaces to Pentagon City and Potomac Yard. As for commuting, it’s snap—via the Crystal City Metro Station, the nearby I-395 and even the airport for those whose business travels take them far and wide.
