Greetings!

As this spring's "renter invasion" hits its peak, we've noticed growing interest in apartments outside of the core DC market, in particular across the river in Arlington.  So we're excited to share some insider tips from Arlington blogger Scott Brodbeck of the popular ARLnow, as well as present to you a luxury loft in Rosslyn.
Arlington, VA
We also feature a brand new luxury building in Foggy Bottom and an interview with leasing agent Evan Housel.

Enjoy the rest of your spring, and as we turn the corner to summer be sure to enjoy all of the great outdoor movies and farmers markets that DC has to offer.

ARLnow's Scott Brodbeck on Arlington

Until recently, Arlington was a dead zone among DC's burgeoning neighborhoScott Brodbeck photood blog scene.  "I wanted to fill that void," says Scott Brodbeck, who founded ARLnow in early 2010.  And fill it he has, quickly gaining a devoted following that rivals many of DC's most established blogs.

We recently chatted with Scott to get the inside scoop on Arlington's neighborhoods and hot spots.

  • Views of the Washington Monument, the National Cathedral, and more
  • Easy access to the Kennedy Center, DAR Constitution Hall, World Bank, and IMF
  • Great nearby food options including Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Sweetgreen, and Circa

What Renters Are Saying    

 

"I want to thank Urban Igloo for their great help and assistance with finding my new apartment. I had very particular requirements in a very nice NW neighborhood. There is never a lot of volume in this neighborhood and when there is... it's pricey and I had been looking for months. After being connected with an Urban Igloo agent, I saw the unit in one day and closed the process within three days. It could not have been more painless. I highly recommend Urban Igloo if you are in the market to rent... I would not go anywhere else!"


Jessop F., Washington, DC

What Landlords Are Saying  

"I had a great experience working with Urban Igloo to help rent my condo in Glover Park. I can tell you right now that I'm under much less stress today than a month ago! Next time I won't waste any time trying to rent it on my own."

 

Victor D., Washington, DC
