Palisades Gardens is a charming, garden-style condominium community in North Arlington, built in 1947—one of the last classic World War II–era residential communities developed during the expansion of the federal workforce. While many people refer to it as “North Rosslyn,” Palisades Gardens is more accurately located in Arlington's North Highland area.
With its brick Colonial Revival style, mature trees, and peaceful residential setting, Palisades Gardens remains one of Arlington’s best “hidden gem” condo options—especially for buyers who want character, space, and proximity to Metro without high-rise HOA fees.
