Rosslyn is a lively urban neighborhood in the heart of Arlington, Virginia, that has evolved from a successful commercial district of nationally recognized companies to a vibrant, mixed-use community with residences, amenities and activities that appeal to millennials, young families and empty nesters.
At the helm of this evolving neighborhood, you’ll find the Rosslyn Business Improvement District (BID), a place management organization funded by a special tax paid by property owners within its 17-block boundaries. The organization provides critical services that enhance, grow and maintain the community through a public/private partnership with Arlington County. As the first BID in the county, it celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2023.Â
