Why Millennials Choose Arlington

What do the 80 million strong millennial population want and why are they choosing Arlington?

The National Association of Home Builders held their annual conference this week in Orlando, FL. While much of the talk focused on the housing needs of the 74 million aging baby boomer generation, there was also significant discussion on what the larger, 80 million strong millennial generation wants.

Gas Light Square - the First New Condo Project in 2011

Gas Light Square is the first new condo project in recent years.

Gaslight Square is soon to be Arlington's newest luxury condo development. It is also the first project since the real estate market downturn several years ago and the subsequent financial crisis in 2007 to be developed as condos from the beginning rather than rental apartments. Just another sign that the real estate market has turned the corner. Gaslight Square will occupy an entire block (see map) bounded by Clarendon Blvd.,  N Queen St, N Quinn St. and N 16th St.  The 114 unit project will consist of three buildings and the units are expected to be in the $700,000 to $1,400,000 range. Ground was broken for the development just recently. Across the N Queen St is the award winning Mercer and Wooster Lofts, also built by Abdo Development. …
