Top 5 Condominium Rooftop Pools and Views in Arlington VA

1. Waterview- Although this high-rise doesn't have a rooftop pool, the view makes up for any shortcomings. Located at the point of Northern Arlington to the right of Key Bridge, the Residences at Waterview has the prime monument and river views. With an amazing grilling area and ample seating and lounging, this rooftop is perfect for parties, or just a relaxing night of enjoying the view.

2. Odyssey- Don't let the location fool you. The Odyssey Condominiums are set further back in Arlington in Courthouse, but the building's height makes up for the distance. The rooftop pool has views on both sides, of Arlington and Alexandria, and the rooftop observation deck with tables and chairs overlooks all of DC.

3. Clarendon 1021- Located in Clarendon, Clarendon 1021 is still in direct competition with Rosslyn and Courthouse views. Although you overlook the green Arlington and Alexandria, their rooftop pool and year round Jacuzzi make this rooftop very desirable.

4. Residents at Liberty Center- In the heart of Ballston, this new development (with still some units available for sale by the developer) embraces an elegant feel with columns, seating, and rooftop pool overlooking the city.

5. Continental at Ballston- At the far end of the Ballston area, the Continental Condominium building has a fantastic rooftop pool. Although it does not have any monumental views, how can you not enjoy the fresh air, and open rooftop pool and patio?

Why have a pool on the ground level, when you could have a rooftop pool? Developers have noticed the demand for communal outdoor lounging. With the restrictions of space, high-rises make the best of it, making these rooftop pools and viewing areas a focal point of the building's amenities.
