River Place West

River Place West is a cooperative residential building located in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area. One of four independent cooperatives comprising the River Place Community, our ten-story building consists of 413 homes, from studios to two bedroom penthouses. We are located 1 1/2 blocks from the Rosslyn Metro Station in Arlington, Virginia within view of the Iwo Jima Marine Corp Memorial across route 50. The River Place Community shared amenities include a gym, swimming pool, 24 hour patrol, and retail outlets including a convenience store, hair salon, and professional cleaners. The River Place Buildings were originally built in the mid-fifties as a four building apartment and office complex called Arlington Towers. The buildings were converted into four independent housing cooperatives in the early eighties known as they are today as River Place. While each building pays dues to the River Place Owner's Association, which maintains and manages common grounds including the parking, pool, and patrol officers, the four buildings have separate boards of directors, elected by the shareholders (owners), which operate and manage the finances of each building independently.
