Shirlington
Shirlington is a one of the urban villages of Arlington County, Virginia, United States, adjacent to the Fairlington area. The word “Shirlington” is a combination of “Shirley” (from the Shirley Highway or Interstate 395) and “Arlington.” Shirlington is mostly middle-class residential, but like most of Arlington County has been experiencing an economic renaissance and is now home to many upscale dwellings and retail and service establishments that also serve the nearby Fairlington, Parkfairfax, and Nauck areas.
Shirlington is near Arlandria and the valley of Four Mile Run, a tributary of the Potomac River. It is the site of the trailhead of the Washington & Old Dominion Railroad Trail, a rail trail that travels along the route of a railroad that closed in 1968. Shirlington lies adjacent to I-395 and is immediately accessible from Shirlington Circle (Exit 6 on I-395).
With its established café culture, live theater and pedestrian promenade, Shirlington has declared itself arts and entertainment capital of Arlington. Anchoring the Village at Shirlington is a multi-million dollar theater-library complex, home to Arlington’s nationally-known Signature Theatre, and the state-of-the-art Shirlington Library. Added to the mix are new condominiums, lively restaurants and exciting shops, all with easy access to Washington and close-in proximity to Interstate-395, the Pentagon and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
