According to the Arlington County tax records, there are 46 homes in the Garden City neighborhood, tucked in behind the intersection of Lee Highway and North George Mason Drive, just northwest of that intersection. Garden City is also often referred to as Milburn Terrace, which is actually just up the street, and is part of the Yorktown Civic Association. These boundaries between Arlington locations and neighborhoods are so often ill-defined and vary according to purpose, whether for taxes, civic associations, and of course just how they are commonly referred to.
The colonial below is fairly representative of homes in the neighborhood. What you cannot see in this particular home is the beautiful addition to the side and off the back — the common Arlington solution for creating more space in the original home. This home is not yet on the market, but when it hits the MLS it will be listed around $700,000. 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms. Big space, though. Relatively speaking.
Other homes down the block in Garden City look like this:
Garden City has a nice residential charm, is relatively affordable for a single family home, and walking distance to businesses up and down Lee Highway and Harrison St, where you can find two grocery stores and a handful of terrific restaurants. Like all things Arlington, it’s a very convenient neighborhood to live and play in.
