Lee Heights

The colorful awnings of the Lee Heights commercial row are the first landmarks to signal that you have arrived in a lively and creative neighborhood. One of Lee Heights’ most unique features is its role as a hub for the local art scene. The Arlington Artists Alliance is a non-profit organization serving and supporting artists in Arlington County and is headquartered at Cassatt’s Cafe at the Lee Heights Shops. The Alliance holds monthly art exhibits at Cassatt’s, as well as at the Gallery Down Under, also in the Lee Heights shopping row. Lee Heights is also a food lover’s heaven. The restaurants in the Lee Heights shopping center offer a wide array of ethnic food choices: Peruvian chicken at Crisp & Juicy, mousse cake at Pastries by Randolph, fresh H&H bagels sold at Arrowine, French onion soup at Café Parisien Express. Foodies can also take Middle Eastern cooking classes at Lebanese Taverna or attend Saturday-afternoon winetastings at Arrowine. Kids too will relish the opportunity to go to Lee Heights. From story hours at Imagination Station bookstore to cruising the aisles at Kinder Haus Toys, kids have many options for entertainment and enrichment. Outdoor fun for kids and adults is available just a short distance north of Lee Highway. Lee Heights Park at 2400 North Taylor Street is one of the many Arlington parks that provide sanctuary for both people and wildlife. Many have found that just a short walk around the 2.5 acre parcel is good for the soul as well as the body. The park borders an off-street bike/pedestrian path which connects to the Potomac Overlook Regional Park. Picnicking and hiking are popular activities in this green paradise within the urban landscape of Arlington.
