For many home buyers, Arlington, Va., seems to have it all: parks and walking trails, shops and restaurants, walkability and proximity to the nation’s capital. The arrival of Amazon’s second headquarters to Crystal City in Arlington fueled interest in living in the community on the outskirts of D.C.

That demand means the median sales price for a home in the county is often even higher than the median sales price in the city. The median sales price in Arlington County was $725,000 in May, according to Bright MLS, up 16.5 percent compared with the median sales price in May 2020 and 17.9 percent compared with May 2019.

Finding a place to buy for less than $400,000 is still possible for home buyers in Arlington, especially if they’re willing to purchase a condo. For example, the condo at 2101 N Monroe St. #412 in the Dominion Heights building is priced at $399,900. Monthly condo fees are $424, and annual property taxes are $3,933.
