Windgate

Windgate is a 549-unit townhome condo community in the Shirlington-Fairlington area, built in 1983 across 16 acres of landscaped and wooded property along Walter Reed Drive South and Arlington Mill Drive South. It’s one of the largest townhome communities in all of Arlington.

Amenities include a swimming pool, tennis courts, and reserved parking. County and state recreational facilities and bike trails are adjacent to the property, and restaurants and movie theaters in Shirlington Village are about a one-mile walk away. The 16-acre setting provides a level of green space and wooded character that no highrise or midrise can match.

There’s no Metro within walking distance, but the Shirlington area provides good bus connections and easy access to I-395. At 549 units on 16 acres, Windgate functions more like a neighborhood than a condo community. For buyers who want townhome living with outdoor amenities in a wooded, campus-like setting near Shirlington, Windgate is one of the most distinctive communities in the county.
