Bluemont is a family-friendly community of approximately 2000 households across 580 acres in west Arlington County near Washington, DC. Residents cite the neighborhood’s small-town charm combined with a host of amenities, including historic sites, skate parks, acclaimed schools, gardens, and a university campus. Housing stock includes a mix of single-family detached homes as well as newer townhomes flanked by a wetlands refuge and number of parks and other public spaces.
