Located across the Potomac River from Washington DC, Arlington is one of the smallest counties in the country spanning a mere 26 square miles. However, Arlington has more private office space than downtown Boston, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Denver. When you consider it also contains one of the region’s most vibrant residential real estate markets, serves as a leader in incorporating “green” principles into its urban planning, and annually ranks as one of the top 100 public school systems in the nation, it easy to see how this small county has become the cornerstone of Northern Virginia. Arlington’s 2010 tax base is divided between 43% commercial and 57% residential properties, enabling the County to maintain one of the most competitive property tax rates in the region.

Arlington has become a model for other cities around the world on how urban planning can limit our dependency on automobiles. The Urban Villages of Arlington were designed around the Metrorail stations in an effort to minimize traffic congestion. Each of these neighborhoods is almost 100 percent self-sufficient with its own grocery stores, shopping areas, restaurants and entertainment. Metrorail and the bus systems provide quick and easy access to not only Arlington, but also the entire DC Metro Area. The convenience of living in Arlington is one of its most attractive characteristics to many of its residents
