    "Do not confuse Arlington's Columbia Heights with DC's. Most all of the comments refer to DC's. Arlington's Columbia Heights is a established, welcoming, and safe community with growing newer developments on the horizon. This growth is being perpetuated with the Amazon HQ2 being roughly 3 miles away. "

    "Individual courtyards have barbeques and parties. The neighborhood is easily walkable to great restaurants, and many other businesses. Just a few blocks from that is a serene walking path along a creek. "

    "Can't beat Arlington Village for location and overall value. Every unit is a 'townhome' so you don't feel like you're living in a condo 'building'. Units are old and most need some work, but that allows owners to customize in their own way. All the new development along Columbia Pike will add grocery stores, retail and restaurants and this will make the community even more attractive."
