Two collections of new residential options are coming to McLean. The new Union Park development will likely open later this spring, featuring your choice of brownstones or lofts in an ideal setting.

Just a short walk from the McLean Station Metro, Union Park is also a reasonable distance from several major roadways in the area, as well as parks, shopping and more. The new homes sit just minutes away from attractions such as Tysons Galleria and The Boro.

They also sit close to area schools, and within walking distance of an area elementary school. A number of luxury features and finishes complement Union Park’s low maintenance lifestyle.

This master-planned community from Toll Brothers offers home designs including townhome-style condos. The

A new collection of condominium homes is headed to DC’s Shaw neighborhood. The 801N property consists of 28 condos close to restaurants, coffee shops and nightlife spots in the area.

Home to some of DC’s priciest real estate, Spring Valley is an estate enclave. This Northwest DC neighborhood is known for its tree-lined streets and its large, multi-million-dollar homes.

Despite a median sold price of more than $2 million, the homes of Spring Valley surprisingly don’t sit on the market long. Often including at least four-bedrooms or even more, homes in this prestigious neighborhood are highly desirable.

With this in mind, it’s not unusual to find homes in Spring Valley easily priced in the multi-million-dollar range. Buyers lucky enough to find a home for sale in the neighborhood are often treated to such luxuries as custom home theatres, wine cellars, private swimming pools and plenty of outdoor living space.

As one of the largest co-op apartment complexes in DC, Tilden Gardens sits on five-acres of land in the Cleveland Park neighborhood. The largest building of its kind until the Watergate complex opened decades later, it has remained one of the most luxurious throughout the years.

Made up of four buildings connected by landscaped, graveled walks, each building in Tilden Gardens also offers its own garage. First completed in the early 1930s, the red brick and limestone buildings provide the rare advantage of offering units with at least two exposures, and sometimes more.

You will also find such desirable original detailing inside as high ceilings, arched doorways and hardwoods with the co-op apartments of Tilden Gardens. Ranging from around 740

Much more than just an unusual name, Swampoodle is a historic neighborhood with Irish roots. Originally settled by scores of Irish immigrants in the mid 1800s, its said Swampoodle gained its namesake generations ago from a combination of the words “swamp” and “puddle”.

Built up over the former Tiber River, the neighborhood was often marked at the time by standing water and marshy conditions. All these years later the name remains, although it’s not likely that everyone in DC remembers it.

That’s because Swampoodle is now part of the rebranded NoMA community. The opening of Union Station in the early 1900s wiped out many of the old homes that once stood in the area, causing many residents to move away.

A new townhome development is coming to Arlington’s Buckingham neighborhood. Trenton Square is the latest addition to the area, with construction expected to begin on many of the new townhomes by later this spring.
