A fresh perspective on National Landing

If you’ve been following the revitalization around National Landing and Amazon HQ2, you know that finding a brand-new home with actual space (and a view) is a bit of a challenge.

That’s what makes 600 29th Road S such a find. Perched on a hilltop in the Oakcrest neighborhood, this new build by Classic Cottages manages to feel like a private retreat, even though you’re just minutes away from the airport, the Metro, and the best dining in Crystal City.

What we love about this house:

  • The Loft & Rooftop Deck: This is the real showstopper. The entire top level is a flexible loft space with its own wet bar. It opens right onto a rooftop deck with panoramic views of the skyline—it’s the perfect spot for a morning coffee or a drink at sunset.
  • Space to Breathe: It’s hard to find a large, flat backyard in this part of Arlington. This one has plenty of room for pets or hosting, and it connects directly to a bright, walk-out basement that doesn’t feel like a basement at all.
  • Room for Everything: With 5 bedrooms, 6 baths, and over 4,300 square feet, there’s plenty of space for a home gym, a quiet office, or hosting guests.

The best part? It’s completely finished and move-in ready. No waiting on construction or dealing with delays—you can settle in and start enjoying those views right away.

Take a look for yourself!

’Tis the season for gathering with family and friends!

If you’re looking for ways to entertain your guests or explore Arlington’s vibrant arts scene this holiday season, we’ve got you covered. With events running through January, Arlington’s Winter Arts Highlights offers a comprehensive guide to arts and cultural happenings across the County, ensuring you’ll find something for everyone.

Arlington, together with Washington, D.C. and Alexandria, ranked fourth among the most arts-vibrant communities in the U.S. as evaluated in 2024 by the National Center for Arts Research’s Arts Vibrancy Index. This ranking assesses vibrancy by analyzing supply, demand and government support for the arts across 900+ communities. Since the index’s debut in 2015, Arlington has remained a top-ranked community for the arts, bolstered by a creative mix of visual and performing artists. This high ranking was achieved because of Arlington’s exceedingly talented and creative array of visual and performing artists.

This winter, Arlington’s vibrant cultural calendar includes unique events for all ages and range from a staging of the classic musical Fiddler on the Roof by the Tony Award-winning Signature Theatre (through Jan. 25, 2026); an Artist Talk at Arlington Artists Alliance (Dec. 18), to Encore Stage & Studio’s staging of Disney’s High School Musical, Jr. (Jan. 9–18, 2026).

Below are just a few of the highlights, with a full schedule available on the Arlington Arts’ Winter Arts Highlights page.

wagamama Expands Its Culinary Lineup with a New Bar Menu

wagamama has introduced a new bar menu that broadens its culinary offerings beyond its signature dishes. The refreshed selection centers on small plates and cocktails that highlight contemporary Asian flavors and encourage exploration through a range of distinct pairings.

Small Plates with a Modern Edge

The new dishes emphasize bold seasonings and shareable portions. Among the featured items is a crisp roti canai served with a warm curry dipping sauce that brings together rich spices and a delicate bread texture. Korean BBQ wings appear on the menu as well, prepared with a sweet and smoky glaze and balanced by a cool yuzu mint yogurt. Another new option, the wagyu-mama sliders, uses high-quality beef accented with a savory house glaze to create a compact but flavorful bite.

A Cocktail Program Designed for Variety

wagamama’s beverage additions are just as prominent. The Thai chili margarita blends heat with citrus for a sharp and refreshing profile. A lychee and blood orange sangria offers a fruit-forward alternative with a lighter finish. The ube espresso martini rounds out the selection, combining the richness of coffee with the subtle sweetness and color of ube to create a distinctive stylish drink.

All of the menu items are priced under ten dollars and the bar menu is available all day.

With its energetic atmosphere, modern design, and a location right in the heart of Clarendon, wagamama is ready to become your new go-to spot for after-work drinks, date night, or weekend lounging. The new wagamama bar menu brings bold flavors and good energy to every occasion.
