Shirlington is a small area of Arlington. It's is a wonderful area to walk in the park, take your dog down to the dog park, or simply sit and people watch. There is a great street with all types of restaurants from Greek to Latin to american. There's someone for everyone. Constantly you notice families out walking their dogs, or jogging. Children riding their bikes is not uncommon. The pools are very nice and close to the housing. The community does a great job on keeping it clean and tidy.
Quiet neighborhood with shops an restaurants. It’s also very walkable with a handful of bars with decent happy hours.
