Clarendon*Heart & soul and all that jazzClarendon, in the heart of the Rosslyn-Ballston Metro corridor, is also the heart of Arlington's nightlife and dining scene. Arlington's original urban village, Clarendon has maintained throughout its evolution a true international atmosphere and a commitment to both tradition and diversity. These qualities make it one of the most interesting neighborhoods in the Washington, D.C., area. From Texan to Thai food, ballroom dancing to blues, post-modern highrises to bungalows shaded by 100-year-old oaks, and British specialty shops to major environmental consulting firms, Clarendon seamlessly ties a great diversity of threads into one unique, eclectic urban fabric. Much of Arlington's future growth will take place in Clarendon. An additional million square feet of new office construction and 1,600 new housing units are planned for the near future, all within easy walking distance of the Clarendon Metrorail station. The Market Common at Clarendon, one of Arlington's most exciting mixed-use projects, features more than 220,000 square feet of both national and local retail, 87 luxury townhomes, and 300 apartments. Major employers in Clarendon include SRA, Henninger Media Services, and Comcast Corporation. Metro: Clarendon, Orange Line Major Organizations Restaurants This information is from www.smartplace.org |
