Rosslyn, A Waterfront Gateway Community

Rosslyn has gone through a whole lot of changes since the late 1700s. The waterfront community was once a place where colonial farmers would take their crops across the Potomac to sell in Georgetown. The ferry was the only means to get there at the time. Once those same farmers returned with cash in hand, they would face yet more obstacles—returning to their homes by way of Lee Highway while trying to avoid bandits who would lie in wait along the nefarious Dead Man’s Hollow.

The building of the Aqueduct Bridge and canal crossing in 1843 allowed easier access than the old ferry boats. But even the designation as a gateway community has seen some shifts. Rosslyn was once known as the Gateway to Perdition due to its wild brothels and gambling halls. After a morals cleanup campaign in 1904, developers and local officials sought to make the waterfront a more residential-friendly place with a new catchphrase—Gateway to Virginia. That eventually changed again to Gateway to Arlington.

The arrival of trolley cars in the early 1900s added to the allure of residential development. The streetcars ran from Rosslyn out to Ballston at the time. Those trolleys went by the wayside around 1941, however. The late 1970s brought a new chapter with the modern Metrorail system. Rosslyn, Court House, Clarendon, Virginia Square and Ballston each have their own Metro station.

The 1960s and 1970s brought high-rises to Rosslyn. Given that the Washington DC heights restrictions don’t apply in Arlington, developers began erecting office towers with spectacular views. Eventually, luxury condominiums began popping up. The latest chapter in the constant reshaping of Rosslyn is an effort to put more emphasis on residential development and less on office space. The streets will become more walk-friendly, and more shops, restaurants and greenspaces will add to the destination place vibe.

Residents at The Waterview live in a neighborhood with a colorful past, to say the least. But it’s also a very modern community that continues to soar in popularity. From the waterfront to the trendy Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor with all its attractions, this is a great place to be.
