Arlington Mill

Built in 2013, Arlington Mill is an innovative, award-winning development located on South Dinwiddie Street. The four-story building includes 122 studio and one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, a community room, and underground parking. Located just one block away from the intersection of Columbia Pike and Four Mile Run Drive, Arlington Mill is adjacent to the Arlington Mill Community Center, which includes a gym, senior center, teen room, and meeting rooms. Glencarlyn Park and the Four Mile Run Bike Trail are just steps away from the building.

Ninety-eight units are two and three bedrooms for larger families and 39 units are for individuals and families who are very low income, including 13 units for individuals and families receiving supportive services from Arlington County. Arlington Mill Residences also includes a unRibbon cutting at Arlington Millique eight-unit wing with separate community space and five additional units throughout the building to house formerly homeless individuals and families.

One of APAH’s first eco-focused properties, Arlington Mill achieved EarthCraft certification and features 15 SEER HVAC systems, tankless gas hot water heaters, wood panelized construction, and EnergyStar-rated windows and appliances.
