Westover in Arlington County, Virginia - GREAT PLACES!!

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty

I've decided to add a new feature to my blogworld - Neighborhood Focus.  This week, to kick it off, I'll be taking a closer look at Westover, a charming neighborhood in North Arlington that gives the feel of yesteryear.

Washington Boulevard is the "Main Street" if you will, of Westover.  Traffic slows when you enter into the 2-3 block stretch resembling days gone by.  It's an area of local shops, small-town feel, and everything you need - from the post office, the grocery, a few colorful restaurants, a barber, drug store, hardware store, coffee shop, library...  what else could you need?

Here is a look down one of the sidewalks of Westover Village.  You can see the barber shop and Scoop Beauregards - one of my personal favorite ice cream parlors in the entire area!

This shopping center is flanked by 2 very clever restaurants:  The Lost Dog Cafe and the Stray Cat Cafe!  I can personally vouch for the garlic-y white pizzas and wide array of beer/ale served at the Lost Dog!  It's definitely something to experience.

It's a quaint part of Arlington that offers a variety of housing options some even affordable!   Also, it lies within walking distance to the East Falls Church metro - making it a commuter's dream.

So if you're considering a move to Arlington, or even just like exploring new places - consider slowing down and experiencing Westover!  You won't regret it.

Hi Jennifer - I love the brick sidewalks! This looks like a great place to live and work. I miss the East! I'm from the Knoxville, TN area and I miss the mountains a LOT!!

Although Texas and Texans are wonderful, the Smoky Mountains will always be home!  Maybe some day...

Jennifer, thanks for these pictures.  I used to live about a mile from Westover, and I have dreamt about coming back, but now is not the time.  I just googled Westover and your pictures came up - boy, these guys got it right!  The shopping center looks just terrific, and I love the Reed building and library connection.  And I was soooo pleased to see that the Lebanese Taverna is still there - that was my favorite restaurant 30 years ago!  I wish you luck in your real estate endeavors, and thanks for the joy you just brought me!
