Shirlington Crest Continues to Emerge
December 23rd, 2007 Categories: Around Arlington County, Buyers, Nauck, Shirlington

While everyone is rushing around for the holidays, the construction at Shirlington Crest continues. It even looks like they have sold a few.
These townhouses aren’t what I expected. I’m a little disappoint in them so far. Maybe I can be convinced otherwise as I see the finished product.
Here are the first three townhouses. One looks like a barn. I really hope they have better curb appeal when the siding is installed.
I’ll admit, when you are driving in Shirlington– that end barn hits you. But when you drive into the complex and look at it up close– it’s not that bad. So I’m not commenting until I see the final product.
I had my doubts about West Village– and that turned into a nice project.
This picture below is a rear view of the garages.
We are in for some warm weather this next week, maybe there will be some more progress on the exterior.






Mary - Is this building three condo, each three stories? I can see your point about the barn look. It looks like they have a lot of windows, which is nice. Can’t wait to see the finished look.
Paula- these are townhomes-fee simple. Each is three stories with the first level having a 2 car garage and a den or bedroom option. I’ve been following their development since they tore down the old garden-style apartments last year.
Mary - thanks for being the local real estate expert - it will be interesting to see as Shirlington develops - I must still be thinking Christmas presents because when I saw all the silver it reminded me of presents (lol)- Cyndee
How long do developments like Shirlington usually take to build out?
