The Townes of Shirlington

Townes of Shirlington is a 12-unit townhome condo community in the Shirlington-Fairlington area, built in 2011 along South Garfield Street. It’s one of the newer condo developments in a part of Arlington dominated by properties from the 1940s through the 1980s.

Elevator access is the amenity on record — notable for a townhome community this size, where multi-level private entrances are usually the norm instead. That suggests at least some units at Townes of Shirlington offer easier one-level access than the stacked or attached townhomes nearby. At 12 units, the HOA stays small and manageable.

There’s no Metro within walking distance, but the location offers easy access to I-395 and is close to Shirlington Village, with its restaurants, theaters, and shops. For buyers who want a newer townhome-style condo with the small-community feel of South Arlington, Townes of Shirlington stands out as one of the more modern options in Shirlington-Fairlington.
