144-Affordable Homes Mixed-Use Opens in Arlington 

Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing (APAH) and Central United Methodist Church (CUMC) celebrated the opening of Unity Homes at Ballston, a new mixed-use development on 4201 Fairfax Drive in Arlington.  

Located near the Ballston-MU Metrorail station, the project received financing through sources including Low-Income Housing Tax Credits. The eight-story property features 144 affordable homes, a church sanctuary, Kinhaven School daycare, and Provision Church Catering’s kitchen space. Serving residents earning between 30-60% of the area median income, the development includes amenities such as outdoor courtyards and community rooms.  

“We are proud that Unity Homes at Ballston is finally here—this project encountered multiple obstacles on the path to redevelopment, but together with our partners at CUMC, Arlington County, and so many others, we pressed forward,” said Carmen Romero, APAH president and CEO.
