The Hyde Park Condominiums in Ballston
The Hyde Park Condominiums of Arlington, Virginia, are located at 4141 North Henderson Road and boasts that they are the Ballston communities’ first condominium. After over a decade of discussion and debate regarding land use near the Ballston Metrorail’s Orange Line, the Ballston Sector Plan was finally established in 1980; which ultimately set the framework for what is now the Ballston urban metropolis. Today, the Hyde Park Condominiums serve as an attractive and important gateway into Ballston’s North Glebe Road intersection where the condos are conveniently located between both North Quincy and North Henderson Street. The Hyde Park condos can be conveniently accessed from Interstate 66 and Route 50 and are located directly next to a Harris Teeter grocery store and the Ballston Commons Mall.
The Hyde Park condos are a luxurious 12 story high-rise community located four blocks from the Ballston Metro on the Orange Line plus one lower level floor for commercial use which was built in anticipation of Ballston’s thriving urban growth. The condos feature 24-hour security and secretarial services, a night time security guard, a swimming pool, washers and dryers on each residential floor, and an award-winning plaza that reflects the spirit of the original Hyde Park itself.
A newly renovated feature that residents of the Hyde Park condos can enjoy is the new 3-level, enclosed parking garage. In addition, residents may arrange for daytime or overnight parking in the garage for their guests.
Between both the ease of access to the Hyde Park Condominiums and the convenience of the nearby Metro, grocery stores, and Ballston Commons Mall, the Hyde Park condos capture the urban feel of the Ballston community while maintaining the ideal comfort and safety of a residential neighborhood.
