Ashton Heights is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Arlington, Virginia, originating around the newly built Clarendon electric trolley station at the turn of the 20th century. In 2011, residents celebrated the community’s 90th year.
Today, the neighborhood features a number of established homes built largely from the 1930s to the 1950s, ranging from bungalows to Colonials, framed by mature trees.
