About Leeway
Leeway is a suburban neighborhood in Arlington, located past the western end of the Ballston-Rosslyn corridor.
Despite being bisected by Lee Highway, a prominent thoroughfare in Northern Virginia, Leeway retains a suburban atmosphere. People living in Leeway can take care of all their daily errands with ease thanks to the neighborhood’s well-lit sidewalks and convenient access.
When combined with Leeway’s great access to the dining, shopping and entertainment of Arlington and D.C., this means that Leeway offers both a tranquil atmosphere and convenience.
Housing in Leeway
Unlike neighborhoods closer to the center of Arlington, Leeway does not have many multi-family properties on the market. Instead, almost all of the homes in the area are detached, single-family homes.
Home values in Leeway are very strong, and the neighborhood is currently seeing appreciation in price, overall. With the trajectory of the housing market in Arlington trending upwards, this means that purchasing a home in Leeway could be a wise financial move for many people.
Getting Around Leeway
There is not a Metro stop named for Leeway, but that doesn’t mean that residents are out of luck when it comes to public transit. The neighborhood sits just to the east of the East Falls Church Metro Station. This means that residents can access both the Orange and Silver lines of the D.C. Metro system with ease.
Most of the residents of Leeway own their homes. Home ownership is an attractive prospect in this neighborhood for several reasons: Despite being so close to the urban villages of Arlington, this area retains a quiet community atmosphere. The tree-lined streets offer both convenience and seclusion, and the neighborhood is beloved for its pet-friendliness, as well.
Because of these advantages, homes move fast in Leeway. If you are interested in living in this area, the best strategy is to find off-market homes.
