E.g. go to 38deg, 53min 36.23sec N; 77deg, 04min 28.74sec W with Google Earth and enable the 3D view of buildings. Adjust the tilt so the "Eye Altitude" is about 750 feet. People living in those 2-3 story apartment buildings probably wonder what zoning in Arlington is.

IIRC, there's some spot on Wilson Boulevard that had a very nice, large, ~ 1850s home right next to a 30 story office building. I wasn't able to find it though.

Arlington does have [link|http://www.arlingtonva.us/Departments/CPHD/planning/zoning/CPHDPlanningZoningOrdinance.aspx|zoning], but the land is so valuable and the economy has been so strong there for so long that residential areas near the business districts are under a lot of stress.

Cheers,
Scott.
