Ask Eli: Bluemont Neighborhood Profile

By ARLnow.com Sponsor

This regularly-scheduled sponsored Q&A column is written by Eli Tucker, Arlington-based Realtor and Rosslyn resident. Please submit your questions to him via email for response in future columns. Enjoy!

Where is it? Bluemont is ideally located walking distance from the urban centers of Ballston and Clarendon, but with quieter residential streets filled with single family homes. It’s bordered by Glebe Rd/Ballston to the east, Four Mile Run/Bon Air & Bluemont Parks to the west, Rt 66 to the north (and a small section north to Washington Blvd), and N Carlin Springs Rd to the south. Bluemont hosts multiple parks, the popular Pupatella Italian restaurant, and Arlington Traditional Elementary School. Most homes in Bluemont were built between 1940 and the early 1950s, but the neighborhood is experiencing the replacement of older homes with large new homes, Arlington’s most popular housing trend.

WWBG: The Gold Standard of Craft Beer Tourism is Right in Our Backyard

By ARLnow.com Sponsor

Editor’s Note: This biweekly column is sponsored by Dominion Wine and Beer (107 Rowell Court, Falls Church). It is written by Garrett Cruce, a Cicerone Program Certified Beer Server.

For years, craft breweries that are large enough have offered tours for the curious. But one brewery near our area is going beyond the tour to add more reasons to visit the Delaware shore. Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, which has grown significantly since 1995, is raising the stakes. With brewery tours every day of the week, a boutique motel, and two restaurants at the site of the original brew pub, Dogfish is becoming a tourist attraction on par with the beach and outlets.

Just Listed in Arlington

By ARLnow.com Sponsor

Just Listed highlights Arlington properties that just came on the market within the past week. This feature is written and sponsored by Team Cathell, “Your Orange Line Specialists.”

Well, you missed it. Last week interest rates hit their lowest in 3 years. That sparked an increase in mortgage applications up 35% over last year, mostly refinances.  But you are still okay, whether it’s time to refinance or purchase a home. Rates this week ticked up only 4 basis points (4 one-hundredths of a percent) so rates are still phenomenally low sitting at about 3.74% for a 30-yr fixed rate.

Just Listed in Arlington

By ARLnow.com Sponsor

Just Listed highlights Arlington properties that just came on the market within the past week. This feature is written and sponsored by Team Cathell, “Your Orange Line Specialists.”

Arlington’s real estate market is easing into a summer mode. Activity this week slowed from last week. Some 70 new listings came on the market, while only 63 properties went under contract. Of those sold, 45 had been on the market for more than a week.  Many of them were on the market for more than 100 days which has helped to clear out some stale inventory. That has raised the average days on market to 47.
