Homes near Arlington’s best pools (and pools you can actually use)

This recurring real estate feature is sponsored by The Eli Residential Team. Their mission is to guide, educate, and advocate for their clients through real advice, hands-on support, and personalized service. This week’s post is written by Val Connolly.

Spring is in full swing and the countdown to pool season has officially begun. ARLnow readers voted on their favorite swimming spots across Arlington, and whether you’re dreaming of strolling to your neighborhood pool or lounging in your own private oasis, I’ve rounded up some great real estate options to help you live your best summer life.

Important tip: Many of Arlington’s private community pools have multi-year waitlists (yes, years), and some even use lottery systems for new memberships — so living nearby doesn’t always mean instant access. But it does mean you’ll be first in line when your name finally comes up!
