Arlington Virginia Ranked Northern Virginia’s Most Walkable City

Francis Scott Key Bridge connects Washington D.C with Virginia.
Francis Scott Key Bridge connects Washington D.C with Arlington, Virginia.

There is no denying that Arlington, Virginia is an amazing place to live!  From our spectacular schools, amazing restaurants, stellar parks and cute boutiques, to easy access to the jobs, cultural events and entertainment in Washington, DC – the Arlington Virginia lifestyle is easy to love. Redfin, the Seattle-based real estate brokerage now gives us another reason to love living here: Arlington Virginia Ranked Northern Virginia’s Most Walkable City.

Enjoy a Car-less lifestyle

Walk Score, a Redfin company, recently released it’s 2015 ranking of the most walkable mid-sized U.S. cities with populations between 200,000 and 300,000 and Arlington Virginia came in 3rd place! The Walk Score “incorporates walking routes, depth of choice, pedestrian-friendliness, population and neighborhood data” to see how easy it is to get to the places you want to go from your home without a car.  The top score is 100, so the closer a community rates to 100, the more likely it is you’ll be able to enjoy a car-less lifestyle. Arlington Virginia’s Walk Score was tabulated at 67.1. For some perspective, the top two spots in the rankings were occupied by two New Jersey cities: Newark (77.8) and Jersey City (84.4).

Why Walk Score matters?

Popular opinion is that you have to live in a major city in order to enjoy what Redfin calls a “walkable lifestyle,” but what these smaller cities  show is that you can live in a mid-sized city (like Arlington) and reap the benefits of leaving the car in the garage:

  • Saving money on gas
  • Reducing your emissions impact on the environment
  • Walking to restaurants, the grocery store, farmer’s market, happy hour, etc.
  • Living close to green spaces, sports fields and other recreational opportunities
  • Interacting with neighbors along the way to and from your destination

Testimonials

Candace is very well experienced and has great real estate knowledge. Candace has rented, sold, and and found homes for me since 2009. She would be the only one I would ever call.
Susan S.
Chelle was a true professional. We were only here for a few days and we looked at 40-50 houses in four days! When we did finally put in an offer, we had a problem with the seller not liking the fact that we were using a VA loan. She provided him with all the data and statistics that he needed to become comfortable with the loan. Also, her local knowledge can’t be beat. She grew up in the area, so she knows the area. I would recommend her to anyone.
Nel L.
Candace was great to work with during the sale of our condo. She always kept us informed and was very pleasant to work with. Candace and her team have innovative ideas and are hard workers. We would feel comfortable using their services again.
Stu & Jane Y.
I have worked with Chelle on numerous occasions, once personally for my own home, followed by helping my Company acquire another property for our Elite Executives. She gave me complete confidence in the whole process, and helped guide me through my biggest investment. I love my home and look forward to working with her in the future.
Becky M.
Candace came in with some very valid and good suggestions to help us with selling our home. She priced it accurately and took our feedback into account while doing so. She put together beautiful marketing materials including stunning photos of our home that made it appear to be from a magazine cover. She was persistent in her discussions and follow ups with potential buyers agents. She sold our house in the dead of winter in under 30 days thanks to Candace.
Chris & Jen S.
My wife and I worked with Candace Moe between March and August 2014, eventually selling our home in Oak Hill, VA (zip – 20171) during a very difficult selling period. There were several external factors that resulted in the extended sales cycle. First, was the sale of a comparable house on the same block for an extremely high price. That sale took place immediately before the downturn and was the basis for our initial asking price. Secondly, the bottom fell out of the market for homes in our pri… Read more

Chelle was an invaluable asset to me. We were relocating without being able to physically see a property. Her knowledge of the area and expertise were what I needed to point me towards the right home for us. I highly recommend her! Thanks Chelle for your care and attention! ~ 3/31/2015 (See review on Zillow)

It was a very good experience working with her (Chelle). She is a fantastic dealer and now because of her good dealing, She is our family friend. She was very proper in negotiations and all the paper work was done properly and on time.
S. Ali
We have used Candace and her team for the purchase of a townhouse, the sale of the same townhouse a few years later, and the purchase of a single family home. Each time, she was professional, courteous and she gave us excellent service. She knows the local area well as well as the market. I would highly recommend using her.
Sarika & Vince V.
After purchasing a couple homes over the last few years I have not experienced better service in a realtor than Chelle! She goes above and beyond to ensure you get the exact house you really want and is there providing her expertise throughout all parts of the process. She takes extreme pride in doing so and you will not find a more sincere and genuine realtor or person in the DC area!
