About the Building
The Jefferson is a 325-unit highrise in Ballston, built in 1992 at 900 Taylor Street North. This is a 55+ community — restricted to residents age 55 and older — which makes it unique among Arlington’s condo buildings.
Amenities are resort-level: indoor pool, fitness center, party room, dining rooms, art studio, beauty salon/barber shop, transportation service, secure access, and elevator service. The units may appear well-priced, but there is a mandatory monthly fee that runs into the thousands — this covers the extensive services and amenities, so buyers need to factor it into their total monthly cost.
The Ballston-MU Metro station on the Orange and Silver lines is steps away. For buyers 55 and older who want a full-service, amenity-rich community with immediate Metro access, The Jefferson offers a lifestyle package that no other building in Arlington matches. Just be sure to understand the mandatory fee structure before making an offer.
