Clarendon Property ManagementArlington's Most Competitive Rental Corridor

Clarendon rents range from $2,800 to $3,500/month for a 1–2 bedroom unit, depending on condition, proximity to the Metro, and building amenities. Updated units with modern kitchens and in-unit laundry command the top of the range. We provide a free rental analysis with comparable data so you price competitively without leaving money on the table.

Average tenancy in Clarendon is 14–18 months — shorter than Arlington's overall average due to the younger, more mobile tenant profile. Many are young professionals who relocate for career moves. That's why the 9–12 mo tenant assurance is especially valuable here: if your tenant leaves early, the Northern Virginia team replaces them at no cost.

Clarendon tenants are predominantly young professionals (25–35), earning $100K–$180K. Common employers include consulting firms (Deloitte, Booz Allen, Accenture), federal agencies, and increasingly Amazon HQ2 tech workers. They prioritize walkability, nightlife, and Metro access. They have options — and they'll leave a poorly managed property for a better one.

Most Clarendon condos allow rentals, but many cap the percentage of units that can be rented at 25–40%. Buildings like The Clarendon, Hartford, and Station Square each have different policies. The Northern Virginia team checks your HOA's rental policy before listing, handles the board application if required, and factors approval timelines into your leasing plan.

At $3,200/month, an 8–10% property manager costs you $256–$320/month or $3,072–$3,840/year. That's before they raise rates (they always do). Our flat fee is flat per tier — $139 (Basic) / $179 (Preferred) / $349 (Concierge) per month on annual billing — and it doesn't scale with your rent. On Preferred at $179/month ($2,148/year), a Clarendon landlord saves $924–$1,692 annually compared to percentage management; starting at $139/month on Basic, savings climb to $1,404–$2,172/year. The fee doesn't go up year over year, and you get the same screening and 21-day placement promise across tiers.

We guarantee satisfaction during your first 90 days — if you're not happy with our service, we'll take over management costs until you find a new PM at no charge. In those first 90 days, the Northern Virginia team lists your property, screens applicants, places a tenant, coordinates the move-in, and handles your first rent collection. If anything goes wrong, we fix it — guaranteed.

Clarendon is one of the most walkable rental sub-markets in the entire DC metro — Walk Score consistently rates it 90+. The Wilson Boulevard / Clarendon Boulevard corridor between the Clarendon and Courthouse Metro stations packs restaurants, bars, grocery (Trader Joe's, Whole Foods), gym options, and entertainment within a 10-minute walk. This walkability supports a $200–$400/mo rent premium over comparable units in less-walkable Arlington pockets, and it's a primary reason young-professional tenants choose Clarendon over Ballston or Rosslyn.

Clarendon falls under the Arlington County General District Court (GDC), one of the faster dockets in Northern Virginia (21–25 days from filing to hearing). Virginia VRLTA governs the substantive landlord-tenant rules — same 14-day pay-or-quit notice, same 60-day rent-increase notice, same 45-day security-deposit return window as the rest of the state. The Northern Virginia team handles every step: notice, filing, hearing, writ of possession, sheriff coordination. Eviction coordination is a bundle benefit on our Preferred and Concierge plans (annual billing, when Tenant Placement + Property Management are purchased together) for tenants we placed — we coordinate notices, court filings, hearing scheduling, and writ/sheriff steps, while filing fees, court costs, attorney fees, and constable invoices pass through to the owner at cost. Basic plans don't include eviction coordination; it's available as a separate $750 Manager-fee engagement.

Clarendon properties typically lease in 10–14 days when priced correctly — among the fastest in the region. Ballston runs 12–18 days, Rosslyn 14–21 days (more high-rise inventory), Courthouse 12–18 days, and Crystal City 14–25 days (heavier dependence on Amazon HQ2 / Pentagon hiring cycles). The 21-day placement guarantee means we waive your first two months' management fees if we don't place a qualified tenant in 21 days.

The Perfect 10ant System™ is the 10-point verification process applied to every applicant: identity, income (3x rent minimum), employment, credit, rental history, previous-landlord interviews, criminal, sex-offender registry, bankruptcy, foreclosure/short sale. For Clarendon's $100K–$180K consulting and federal-employee tenant pool, employment verification often involves multi-firm consulting careers and security-clearance-adjacent stability markers. The Northern Virginia team verifies all 10 points without shortcuts — under-1% eviction rate across 2,000+ placements is the result.

Most Clarendon condos and rental buildings allow pets but enforce breed restrictions, weight limits (commonly 35–50 lb), and pet deposits or monthly pet rent ($25–$75/mo). Some buildings (The Clarendon, Hartford, Station Square) restrict cats vs. dogs differently. The Northern Virginia team screens tenant pet applications against your HOA's specific rules at application time, drafts pet addenda that allocate deposit and monthly pet rent under VRLTA-compliant language, and handles pet-related move-out condition documentation.

All four are Arlington Metro corridor neighborhoods but they're distinct sub-markets. Clarendon = walkability premium, young consulting/federal professionals, $2,800–$3,500/mo, fastest lease-up. Ballston = defense contractors and Ballston Quarter mall, $2,800–$3,400/mo, slightly slower turnover. Rosslyn = DOD/State Dept/embassy proximity, high-rise inventory, $2,700–$3,400/mo, premium for views. Crystal City = Amazon HQ2 + Pentagon overflow, $2,600–$3,400/mo, lease velocity tied to Amazon hiring cycles. The Northern Virginia team manages across all four from one workflow.
