About the Atrium Condominiums

Atrium

Atrium condos

Located at 1530 Key Boulevard in Arlington, Virginia, the Atrium Condominiums sit on a hill just between the Rosslyn and Courthouse Metro stations in the heart of Arlington. Appropriately blending into the cityscape of nearby Rosslyn, the Atrium can easily be mistaken for a hotel at first glance. The sky-high, glass enclosed front entrance of the building and the grandiose lobby and foyer area are at once noticeable and are the result of extensive renovations done to both the interior and exterior of the building in 2006. The Atrium features a 24-hour gym, a hot tub, an on-site dry cleaning service, private tennis courts, and breathtaking views of Washington D.C. and the Potomac River.

One of the major highlights of the Atrium Condo community is the location. Featuring an Arlington shuttle bus stop directly in front of the building, the Georgetown metro bus across the street, a Pentagon City shuttle one block away and situated directly in between both the Orange and Blue Metro lines, the Atrium is a Washington commuter’s safe-haven! In addition, the Atrium is located minutes away from Safeway, CVS, and wide range of restaurants including Cafe Asia and Ray’s Hell-burger. The location and convenience of the Atrium is by far the most attractive feature of this well-kept condo community.

Neighborhoods of Fort Hunt

The Brittany Condominiums

The Brittany is a condominium community located in Arlington, Virginia, at 4500 South Four Mile Run Drive. The condominium features 408 units in a high-rise style that is just tall enough to break over the skyline along Four Mile Run in South Arlington.

This particular community has a pleasantly surprising range of amenities and features including two private tennis courts, an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness center which provides an indoor running track, a fully-equipped media center and conference room, a club house with billiards, and an enclosed parking garage.

While the Brittany has moderately convenient access to Washington D.C. and the Arlington Court House Metro Stations, what differentiates these condominiums from others in more heavily trafficked parts of Arlington such as Rosslyn are their suburban, tucked away feel. The Brittany is closely located to the Old Dominion hiking and biking trails, and sits in a slightly more clandestine part of Arlington County.

Braddock District in Fairfax County VA

Braddock is one of nine Magisterial Districts in Fairfax County, Virginia. Over the last century, housing, highways, and commercial developments overtook the fields and farmlands that once stood in their place. Today, they have been replaced with schools and higher educational complexes, shopping centers and malls, and a vast array of residential housing and condominium buildings. Residents of Braddock District have a rich history and it is reflected in their community.

During the summer months, the Braddock District presents the Braddock Nights Concert series. The series features free music and entertainment for families and friends, and includes special events for children. The Braddock District is known for its emphasis on preserving and celebrating their neighborhood and their neighbors through community events that support fellowship and provide artful entertainment.

Unlike the other Magisterial Districts, the Braddock District Office and government facilities welcomes a unique feature which offers its residents, educational groups and non-profit community the opportunity to use the Braddock Hall conference room for free. Braddock Hall can accommodate up to 40 people at tables and up to 80 people in a forum setting. In this way, Braddock truly is a self-governing community that values connecting with all those who live in greater Fairfax County.

A Tale of Two Short Sales

It was the best of times; it was the worst of times …


In many parts of the country the economy is stalled. One indication of this condition is the many short-sales and foreclosures on the market.  But that means opportunity for savvy buyers.  This is a tale of two buyers, Amy and Edwin. Both are buyers. Both have short-sales under contract. Both have been waiting months to go forward.

It was the age of wisdom; it was the age of foolishness

Short-sales often advertise ridiculously low prices.  In Northern Virginia, it’s not difficult to find short-sales selling for $10,000, $20,000 even $50,000 or more less than than comparable homes available for sale.  This is the time of bargains, and lenders in up-side down loans are hurting. But that doesn’t mean they’re giving away free money in America.

It was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of light …

Here’s a tip from one who knows: when you find a home for sale for much less than all of the comparables, you probably have not found a bargain; you’ve probably found a waste of time.  Oh sure, you should check it out, but don’t get your hopes too high. Ask your realtor for the inside story.  If he or she tells you to walk away … walk away.

It was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope …

Short sales are not. (Short.) Homes that sell for far less than any comparable homes don’t. (Sell.) Now is a great time to buy.  But now more than ever, buyers need experienced realtors who will get a home … not a contract and a hope.

it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had
nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way–in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

Amy and Edwin both put in contracts for short sales.  Amy is closing today on the home of her dreams.  She paid more than the asking price and less than the market value.  Months later, Edwin is still waiting for a decision.  He has contracted at a price much lower than the assessed value.  But that does not a bit of good if the bank will not sell the home.  Maybe Edwin will one day buy the home of his dreams.

He lowered the window, and looked out at the rising sun. There was a ridge of ploughed land, with a plough upon it where it had been left last night when the horses were unyoked; beyond, a quiet coppice-wood, in which many leaves of burning red and golden yellow still remained upon the trees. Though the earth was cold and wet, the sky was clear, and the sun rose bright, placid, and beautiful.
