Join the Opening List →Arlington County covers about 26 square miles across the Potomac from Washington, the smallest self-governing county in the country by area, and it is home to the Pentagon. It is dense, mostly rented and changing fast.
When TotalCare Cleaning comes to the Washington DC area, Arlington will be part of it. Here is what the local housing means for keeping a home clean.
Arlington County estimates 127,090 housing units in 2026, of which 72.7 percent are multifamily apartments and condos and 21.7 percent are single family detached homes. Since 2020, 99 percent of the county's net new housing has been apartments or condominiums.
Much of that growth is along the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor, where the county counts 39,600 homes and 92.3 percent of them are multifamily. Ballston, at the western end of the corridor, has had an Orange Line station since December 1979 and is by some measures the densest neighborhood in the Washington area. Clarendon was platted in 1900 along early trolley lines; its 1979 Metro station brought dense redevelopment, while the blocks just north and south stay low density.
Census estimates show 33.5 percent of Arlington's homes were built before 1960 and 27.3 percent in 2000 or later, so the county splits between older garden apartments and houses and newer high-rises. A new tower unit has large windows, tight finishes and an elevator ride; an older house has stairs, a basement and original trim.
Lyon Village, established in 1923 by developer Frank Lyon, is a good example of the older side. More than 60 percent of its homes show Colonial Revival elements, and it was listed on the National Register in 2002. Those homes need the same gentle approach as any older house: mild products on old wood, soft tools on plaster and no scraping of painted trim.
Arlington estimates 64 percent of its occupied homes are rented and an average household size of 2.08 people. Small households in one or two bedroom apartments often do well on a monthly Recurring House Clean, with a Moving Clean at the end of each lease. Virginia Code 55.1-1226 gives landlords 45 days after the tenancy ends to return a deposit with an itemized list of deductions.
Water here comes from the Potomac through the Washington Aqueduct, the same supply as the District, so expect the same mineral spots on shower glass and faucets.
