Located in what some might call “the heart of Arlington,” Ashton Heights is a leafy green enclave with an eclectic mix of historic to brand new homes only steps from amenities in Clarendon and Ballston. Founded more than 100 years ago, Ashton Heights is bounded by Wilson Boulevard, 10th Street North, North Irving Street, Arlington Boulevard and Glebe Road.
Mosaic Park
The park is filled with exciting features including a multi-purpose court, rain garden, flexible-use lawn area, and a children’s play area, complete with a colorful climbing wall. Natural landscaping includes 144 newly planted trees and an array of attractive pollinator plants. Mosaic Park’s entryway and an interactive water feature are both illuminated with sustainable LED lighting.
Gumball Park
While only a third of an acre, kick back and relax on a bench for a rest while you walk through and explore Ashton Heights.
Museum of Contemporary Art at The Arlington Arts Center
Since the 1970s, the Arlington Arts Center has been housed in the historic Maury School located in Ashton Heights. It’s a private, nonprofit contemporary visual arts center dedicated to presenting and supporting new work by regional artists in the mid-Atlantic States.
The Maury School
The building has been home to the Arlington Arts Center, which offers art classes, exhibitions and provides studio space for local artists. The Clarendon School opened its doors in September 1910 with seven teachers and 298 students in grades one through six. It served as the Clarendon community’s only elementary school for the next 63 years. In 1944, the name was changed to Matthew Maury School, in keeping with a statewide effort to rename schools in honor of native Virginians. A Clarendon community landmark, the school was renovated to become the home of the Arlington Arts Center in the late 1970s.
