Arlington View, formerly known as Johnson's Hill, is a historically black neighborhood in Arlington, Virginia. It is roughly bounded by Columbia Pike, Washington Boulevard, Interstate 395, 15th Street South, and South Rolfe Street. Arlington View arose as an African American middle class settlement in the 1880s after the Johnston family, who originally operated a plantation on the site of the neighborhood with enslaved labor, began selling plots to black residents. Many were leaving the nearby Freedman's Village community, which the federal government and other parties in Alexandria County sought to close. Arlington View became the site of the Jefferson School (later renamed Hoffman-Boston), an Odd Fellows Hall, Mount Zion Baptist Church, and other African American social institutions, many of which originated in Freedman's Village in the years after the Civil War. Throughout the Jim Crow era, Arlington View was one of several racially segregated black enclaves where African Americans were permitted to live. Its population increased during the first half of the 20th century as Arlington's black population concentrated due to the growing area taken by whites-only suburban developments and the demolition of nearby black neighborhoods during the construction of the Pentagon. Arlington View residents, in collaboration with Arlington's NAACP branch, filed a lawsuit in the late 1940s against the county government's policies of racial segregation in education and unequal facilities relative to white schools. This built legal momentum against Arlington's long-standing racially discriminatory environment during the civil rights movement, culminating in the integration of Arlington County schools in 1959 and ultimately relieving residents of the county's Jim Crow regime by the late 1960s. Arlington View has since experienced significant racial integration and gentrification, the latter of which has raised costs of living and caused a decline in the neighborhood's black population. Several historical sites in Arlington View are commemorated with markers, and the 1881 Harry W. Gray House, the oldest structure in the neighborhood, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

The Aurora Highlands Historic District is a national historic district located at Arlington County, Virginia. It contains 624 contributing buildings, 2 contributing sites, and 1 contributing structure in a residential neighborhood in South Arlington. Aurora Highlands was formed by the integration of three subdivisions platted between 1896 and 1930, with improvements in the form of modest single-family residences. The district is characterized by single family dwellings with a number of twin dwellings and duplexes, three churches, a rectory, two schools, two landscaped parks, and commercial buildings. The oldest dwelling is associated with “Sunnydale Farm” and is a Greek Revival-style dwelling built about 1870. The predominant architectural style represented is Colonial Revival.In the early 1970s, spillover commuter parking in Aurora Highlands by workers at the adjacent Crystal City complex led the county to establish the first residential zoned parking in the U.S. with the goal of reducing air pollution and protecting the neighborhood character as well as its quality of life. A lawsuit was filed to block it as a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The plaintiffs prevailed in trial court and then on appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court, which held it unconstitutional since it granted residents of the permit zone greater rights over the public streets than their neighbors outside of it. The county appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which reversed the lower courts in Arlington County Board v. Richards, holding that discrimination based on residency alone was not unconstitutional if it rationally furthered a legitimate state interest such as those embraced by the ordinance.It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
