Construction on a row of new townhomes is getting underway at Crystal House Apartments, with completion expected in about a year.
The Highlands Row development of 42 townhouses along S. Fern Street — each with three bedrooms, two and a half baths and a price tag of about $1.2 million — is currently expected to begin foundation work next month and finish in May 2027, ARLnow is told.
Many of the homes are for sale, and 15 of them have already sold, according to the project’s website.
D.C.-based EYA LLC closed on the land last August, as part of a five-phase infill redevelopment plan on the Crystal House site that will ultimately add 865 additional housing units to the existing 828-unit development. More construction on new studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments is also underway nearby.
The Highlands Row project is reportedly the first “true townhouse community” in easy walking distance of the Crystal City and Pentagon City Metro stations, according to realtor and ARLnow columnist Eli Tucker.
Each of the townhouses has about 2,000 square feet of interior living space and two parking spaces in a garage below the home’s footprint.
The project’s webpage describes “open, light-filled interiors, sophisticated finishes, and flexible living spaces for working, entertaining, and relaxing in comfort.”
