The Belvedere

Built in 1987 adjacent to the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial, The Belvedere reaches 19 stories in height and contains over 500 condo homes, many of which put you right in front of commanding views of DC’s iconic monuments (select units come with glass balconies from which you can better enjoy the view). As you’d expect from a building of this size, the amenities are top-notch and include a library and lounge, an outdoor swimming pool, indoor tennis courts, a fitness room and spa, carwash bays, and a grand party room that can fit up to 90 people. In your backyard, you’ll have a treasure trove of restaurants and entertainment options popular among Arlington residents, along with a Safeway grocery story and (perhaps most coveted of all) a Target. Walk a few blocks north and hop on the Orange or Blue Lines (at the Rosslyn Metro station) to shoot into DC for the afternoon (or, if you must, for work). And if it’s a nice spring or fall afternoon, talk a walk up to Rosslyn’s urban landscaped oasis, Gateway Park.
