Rosslyn --- On the Orange Line

Will Nesbitt -  condos / real estate in Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax County: Real Estate Agent in Alexandria, VA

Located on D.C. Metrorail's Orange Line, Rosslyn is the last stop in Arlington before entering the District and, compared to its more suburban-feeling counterpart neighborhoods such as Courthouse and Clarendon, Rosslyn has a distinctly urban feel. In large part, this is due to the corporate and commercial businesses occupying the area, including nationally known companies like Price Waterhouse Coopers, the Boeing Company, and several major hotel chains such as Marriott and Hyatt.

A mix of culture and community, Rosslyn offers a gamut of local activities such as the Rosslyn Spectrum Theater, a vibrant performing arts venue featuring live music and theater in the evenings, or the Arlington History Bike Tour. Rosslyn is also home to an annual jazz festival each September. Although it is known as one of Arlington's most urban villages, Rosslyn also provides a home to those who seek to live outside of the District, and many of the residential apartment complexes offer a serene view of the Potomac River and the streets are often calm by the end of the evening.

For those seeking real estate in Arlington here are a few links and suggestions along the Orange Line:

  • Rosslyn --- At the center of the world: many homes here have views of Washington monuments, Iwo Jima Memorial
    • Atrium -- stunning condos enclosed in glass
    • Belvedere -- luxury at the center of the everything near the Rosslyn Metro

Arlington (VA) When A Million Dollar View Just Won’t Do

Cindy Jones-Northern Virginia Real  Estate & Military Relocation Services: Real Estate Agent in Woodbridge, VA

There is no doubt that the developers of Turnberry Towers in Arlington knew what they were doing when they planned this luxury condominium building.  A concierge to make your dinner reservations, a valet to park your car and private and semi-private elevators wisk you to your unit.  Add an indoor pool, exercise room, theater room and party room and you start to wonder if you would ever have to leave home.

Today I had the opportunity to tour the penthouse in Turnberry Towers and if all of the other amenities in the building weren't enough to entice you to pull out your checkbook then the view certainly will.  With sweeping vistas of the Potomac River, Georgetown University, the National Cathedral and the Washington Monument this 5300 SF unit is sure to knock your socks off. 


Of course with the view and the size there is a price tag attached to this unit.  For anyone who has their checkbook out you can pick up this penthouse listed for $7 million and close within 30 days.  Bring your own contractor to install the floors (not included) and your designer to place your furniture to take advantage of the views. 

Turnberry Towers Penthouse Kitchen
If you have a more modest budget you can explore a 1300 SF unit for under $700,000.  Each of the units have the same kitchens with Italian contemporary cabinetry, Kashmir granite counter tops, Miele gas cooktops and Sub-Zero refrigerators.  The bathrooms take luxury to a new level and the floor to ceiling windows bring all of the great city views front and center.

Advertised as "The Tallest, Most Luxurious Bipartisan Condominium on the Washington Skyline" Turnberry Towers does not dissapoint.
