Westover Arlington VA — Real Estate & Homes for Sale

Westover is one of North Arlington's most authentic and beloved neighborhoods — a historic community built in the late 1930s and early 1940s that has earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural consistency and beloved commercial core. Centered along Washington Boulevard between Bluemont and Cherrydale, Westover offers a rare combination of genuine neighborhood character, walkability, top-rated schools, and consistent long-term real estate value.

For buyers seeking a home with real history and a true sense of community in North Arlington, Westover is one of the most compelling options in the entire market.

What Defines Westover

Westover is not a neighborhood that tries to be something it is not. Its identity is rooted in its history — brick Colonial homes, post-war bungalows, tree-lined streets, and Westover Village, the neighborhood's small commercial district that has been a gathering point for residents for decades.

Westover Village anchors the community with locally owned shops, restaurants, a beloved farmers market, and everyday services that residents can access without getting in a car. This walkable village atmosphere is genuinely rare in Arlington and is one of the primary reasons buyers seek out Westover specifically.

Buyers are drawn to Westover for:

  • Authentic historic character — Brick Colonials and post-war bungalows built between 1938 and the early 1950s, many thoughtfully expanded and renovated while preserving their original architectural integrity

  • Westover Village — A walkable commercial district with locally owned restaurants, shops, and a weekly farmers market that defines the neighborhood's community identity

  • National Register of Historic Places — Westover's listing reflects the neighborhood's architectural consistency and historic significance — a designation that adds prestige and protects neighborhood character

  • Location — Situated between the Ballston-MU and East Falls Church Metro stations, with bus service along Washington Boulevard providing transit options without a car

  • Top schools — Served by highly regarded Arlington Public Schools including Discovery Elementary, one of Arlington's most sought-after school assignments

  • Community — An active civic association, neighborhood events, and a genuine small-town feel that residents fiercely protect

Westover Real Estate Market

Westover's real estate market is defined by its historic housing stock and the premium buyers pay for authentic North Arlington character. Original two-bedroom Colonials and cottages trade between $850K and $1.2M, while expanded and fully renovated homes with additions, high-end kitchens, and modern systems regularly reach $1.5M and beyond.

The neighborhood's lot sizes are modest, which limits teardown activity and helps preserve Westover's architectural character — a feature that buyers specifically value and that supports the neighborhood's long-term price stability.
