I think I kinda know where this is. I'm assuming it's the brick duplexes on the rightha daily side as you drive up Glebe approaching 395? Or very close to there.
I think that area has improved. I generally find the those sorts of arlingnton duplexes to be incredibly ugly, but I feel like that little section has gotten spruced up and is looking cute.

Those are the ones practically right next to the four mile run trail, right?   I see them from the trail, and they look okay. No particular nefarious behavior, but then I have never ridden the trail after 10pm[/quote]

They're right after 395, there used to be Slavin's and there's probably still an Exxon station on Glebe, and the duplexes I lived in are behind them. Glad to know it's gotten somewhat better. Sure they might be ugly, but where else will you get access to the "sacred DCUM soil" of Arlington for under $400k and get at least enough yard to put in a sandbox and a swingset? I'd rather live there than in a terrible part of DC that isn't close to Metro/shopping/etc., at least Oakridge/Gunston/Wakefield are OK if not optimal.

Yeah they built the connector between the W&OD and the Four Mile Run trail alongside that neighborhood. That would help matters I think for people moving in, at least now you've got access to some urban-like amenities -- when I was there, I had all the social ills/bad neighbors of poor urban precincts combined with the car-dependence of random cul-de-sacs in Centreville, but with worse schools than Centreville.
