Country Club Hills: Arlington’s Best-Kept Luxury Neighborhood
Last Updated: April 16, 2026
Most buyers who come to us with a North Arlington shortlist have the same three or four neighborhoods on their list. Yorktown. Williamsburg. Maybe Donaldson Run. Country Club Hills rarely makes that first list. And almost every buyer we take through it asks the same question: why didn’t anyone tell us about this place?
The answer is simple. Country Club Hills doesn’t need to market itself. The homes do the talking. But if you’re searching for luxury in North Arlington and haven’t driven through this neighborhood yet, you’re missing one of the strongest options in the county.
TL;DR / Quick Summary
- Located in North Arlington, bordered by Military Road and Glebe Road
- Homes range from $1.5M to $5M with larger lots and some of the best curb appeal in Arlington
- Schools rate 8 to 9 on GreatSchools.org, among the strongest in the county
- Adjacent to the Washington Golf and Country Club, with a membership history including senators, cabinet members, and diplomats
- About 20 to 25 minutes to DC by car

What Sets Country Club Hills Apart
A lot of North Arlington is starting to feel similar. Older homes being torn down, new construction going up on tight lots, streets that blend together. Country Club Hills is a different story.
Turn off Military Road or Glebe Road and the neighborhood shifts immediately. Winding streets. Mature tree canopy. Large lots. Homes that have real architectural character, ranging from beautifully updated classics to full custom builds. Price points run from $1.5M up to $5M, and the range reflects genuine variety in what you can find here. If you want to see what’s currently available, browse active listings in Arlington.
The standard throughout the neighborhood is high. Every homeowner here cares about how their property presents. The yards are immaculate. The landscaping is deliberate. There’s a pride of ownership on every block that you notice the moment you pull in.
The Washington Golf and Country Club
Country Club Hills sits directly adjacent to the Washington Golf and Country Club, one of the most prestigious private clubs in the DC metro area. Senators, cabinet members, and diplomats have historically been members. That proximity isn’t incidental. It reflects the kind of buyer this neighborhood has always attracted and the standard the community holds itself to.
This is a neighborhood with a long track record of drawing serious buyers who care deeply about where they live. That comes through in the condition of the homes, the care put into the streetscape, and the overall feel of the community. It’s one reason why Country Club Hills consistently holds its value compared to other North Arlington neighborhoods.
Schools
Schools in Country Club Hills rate 8 to 9 on GreatSchools.org, placing them among the top performers in all of Arlington. For families making a long-term decision about where to plant roots, this neighborhood consistently delivers on the school question. If schools are a top priority, it’s also worth looking at nearby Yorktown and Williamsburg to compare clusters before you decide.
Commute and Location
The drive to DC runs about 20 to 25 minutes depending on your destination. You’re not on the Metro line here, so a car is necessary. For buyers who want Metro access, neighborhoods like Lyon Village, Clarendon, and Ballston are worth a look. But for most buyers at the Country Club Hills price point, the tradeoff is easy. The lot sizes, privacy, and overall quality of the neighborhood more than justify the drive.
Who We’d Recommend This Neighborhood For
The buyers we work with who end up in Country Club Hills share a common profile. They’re professionals in their late 30s to mid-40s. They’ve owned a home in Arlington or DC, built equity, and now they’re ready to make a long-term play. They want a home with real presence, a yard that works for kids and dogs, and a neighborhood where the standard is consistently high.
They’re not looking for something cookie-cutter. If that description fits you, we’d also suggest exploring Donaldson Run and Cherrydale as part of your search — both offer a similar level of character in North Arlington at slightly different price points.
If your budget is in the $2M to $4M range and you’ve been looking at Yorktown and Williamsburg and everything is starting to blur together, add Country Club Hills to your list before you make a decision. We’ve seen it change a lot of shortlists.
