Park Glen

Park Glen is a 212-unit garden-style condo community on the western end of Columbia Pike, built in 1947 along Arlington Mill Drive South. It’s one of the larger garden communities on the Pike, with a campus layout spread across multiple low-rise buildings.

Amenities include a pool, secure access, and common laundry. The pool is a significant draw — it’s a feature most garden communities in this price range can’t offer. The campus setting provides green space and a neighborhood feel that contrasts with the busier commercial stretches of the Pike.

There’s no Metro within walking distance, but Columbia Pike’s bus service provides frequent connections along the corridor. At 212 units, Park Glen has the scale to maintain its pool and other amenities while keeping condo fees accessible. For buyers who want a garden community with a pool on the Pike, Park Glen is one of the better options at this price point.
