Frederick Courts Condos For Sale, Arlington VALocated at 5104 Columbia Pike, Arlington, VA 2204
One of the most common styles of condos for sale in Arlington, Virginia, is the brick Colonial garden variety. While many of these sprawling developments were built before and during World War II as a response to the growing Washington Metro federal workforce, some were actually built shortly thereafter. A case in point is Frederick Courts—a cluster of over 20 buildings completed in 1947. Once apartments for rent, this complex was ultimately converted to condominiums.
To some extent, the late 1940s brought a lull in home construction in the Washington Metro region. It was a time of national regrouping, a reprieve after the long and costly war effort. The next major development period was still a few years away—that would be the 1950s baby boom as happy nesters began settling into newly built ranch-style cottages and split-level homes.
