The short answer

What is the Lyon Village, VA housing market like in 2026? Lyon Village is a neighborhood in Arlington County, and Bright MLS reports Arlington County as a whole rather than Lyon Village alone. Countywide in September 2026, the median sold price was $655,000, down 4.6% from a year earlier, homes took a median of 23 days to sell, and active listings were up 22.5% (Bright MLS). That points to more choice for buyers than a year ago.

  • Active listings: 582, up 22.5%
  • Months of supply: 3.02, up 0.51 months

Why there is no Lyon Village-only number here

The sourced monthly reports used here publish county-level figures. Arlington’s totals include many condos, while Lyon Village is mostly single-family homes, so the neighborhood can look quite different. Rather than estimate a neighborhood number, this post sticks to the county data. For a specific street, ask for the recent sales that apply to it.

What is Lyon Village like?

Lyon Village is in North Arlington, ZIP 22201, immediately north of the Clarendon commercial district. The historic district is roughly bounded by Langston Boulevard (formerly Lee Highway), North Veitch Street, North Franklin Road, North Highland Street, North Fillmore Street and North Kirkwood Road (Virginia Department of Historic Resources). Developer Frank Lyon began platting it in 1923, and landscape architect William Sunderman laid it out in nine sections with landscaped traffic circles, sloping lots and a community park. Its 762 residential lots hold Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Craftsman and Spanish Mission houses, bungalows and American Foursquares, and the neighborhood was fully developed by 1950 (Virginia Department of Historic Resources). The Clarendon and Court House Metro stations on the Orange and Silver lines are nearby (WMATA).

Is Lyon Village a historic district?

Yes. The Lyon Village Historic District was listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register on December 5, 2001, and the National Register of Historic Places on May 10, 2002 (Virginia Department of Historic Resources). National Register listing is generally honorary; confirm with Arlington County whether any local review applies to a specific property.

What should buyers check in Lyon Village?

  • Age and condition. Many homes are close to 100 years old, so plan a thorough inspection of wiring, plumbing, foundation and roof.
  • Permits for past work. Ask for county permit records on additions and renovations.
  • Lot and drainage. Sloping lots are common; review the survey and ask about past water issues.
  • Nearby development. Check Arlington County planning records for projects in Clarendon, Court House and along Langston Boulevard near a home.
  • Parking. Some streets near Metro use residential permit parking.
  • School boundaries. Confirm assigned schools for a specific address with Arlington Public Schools.
