A Wind Advisory has been issued for Arlington and much of the D.C. area.
The advisory, which goes into effect Wednesday morning, warns of gusts up to 50 mph during the day.
A Lyon Park private school has received a thumbs up from county leaders on a request to double is student capacity.
But Arlington County Board members cautioned leaders of Tyndale Christian School to be more responsive to community concerns if they hope to maintain, and potentially expand, maximum enrollment.
In Stafford, Embrey Mill is known for its active, connected, and outdoors-focused way of life. Since its debut, the community has grown into one of the area’s most recognizable master-planned neighborhoods, defined by its parks, trails, gathering spaces, and strong sense of community. That lifestyle continues to evolve.
At Cascades at Embrey Mill, Brookfield Residential offers a fresh perspective on active adult living within the established community—one that feels more modern, more social, and more in step with how people want to live today. Condominiums start at $399,990 and offer main-level living—with your kitchen, living, dining, and primary suite all on one floor—plus private elevators, all in the Cascades neighborhood.
Equally important, the homes are designed for low-maintenance living, with lawn care, snow removal, and exterior upkeep all included, so homeowners can spend less time managing a home and more time enjoying their day.
More Ways to Stay Active. More Ways to Connect.
Life here isn’t about slowing down. It’s about having more ways to spend your time.
Homeowners can start the morning with a pickleball match or a walk along nearby trails, meet friends for coffee, or spend the afternoon enjoying the clubhouse and community spaces. With a full calendar of clubs, gatherings, and social events, there’s always something happening.
And because Cascades is part of the larger Embrey Mill community, that experience extends even further, with access to parks, pools, dining, and neighborhood destinations just moments from home.
Homes Designed for the Way You Live Now
At the center of it all are modern 55+ active adult condominiums with private elevators, thoughtfully designed for the way people want to live today.
Brookfield Residential’s thoughtfully designed homes offer main-level living with contemporary finishes and open layouts that support both comfort and flexibility. Private elevators, outdoor living spaces, and attached garages make everyday living easier—whether hosting friends or enjoying a quiet day at home. (more…)

Once upon a time the only way to advertise on ARLnow was by booking ads, posts or blasts with an account rep.
Lene and Kim are great and the advertising options in our Media Kit are really effective, so most people were happy. But it left out some potential advertisers.
If you wanted to publish a post on the site today or if your budget was more Nationals-regular-season than Commanders-playoff-game, you were out of luck. And that didn’t seem right.
So ARLnow and our sister sites launched the Content Hub, a way to submit paid promotions quickly and inexpensively. Now mom-and-pop shops and promotional procrastinators can market their local stuff in 5 minutes for less than the cost of a pair of cheap seats at the ballpark.
Among the options: Announcements. This sponsored content option appears all over, including on our homepage, below articles and in our email newsletters. And it’s only $99 on ARLnow.
As a bonus, thanks to some new AI tech most announcements will get published instantly, including on nights and weekends, unless you opt to schedule it for later.
Place an announcement today and let the community know what’s new with your organization. Announcements can also be used to herald special occasions, find a lost pet, or get the word out about a garage sale, among other things.

Housing Is Hot in Falls Church — “Being raised here, it was like a very slow evolution in Falls Church City. We saw things happen in North Arlington, down in Clarendon.

But, you have to pay for it to get in.” [Falls Church Independent]
