"Walkable Area"

There are ample condos and townhouses to choose from for housing in Shirlington. This would be an ideal place for someone who is single, married without children, or a geographical bachelor to live. There is even a dog park.

My aunt and uncle lived in Shirlington for the last 5 years of their working life in DC before they retired to Florida. We stayed with them twice and had the opportunity to walk the condo and housing area and visit their community pool and tennis courts. We walked a quick 3 minute walk from their condo over to Campbell Street where we ate dinner outdoors and treated the kids to ice cream afterwards. We absolutely loved it

Pros Cons
  1. Walk to restaurant shops
  2. great location
  3. amenities
  1. Feels like city living
