Becoming a Member
AFC has 675 permanent memberships. There is a waitlist for these memberships. At the present time, there are over 400 individuals/families on the waitlist. To be added to the waitlist, please complete the membership application and send in a $25 non-refundable application fee (in the form of a check made payable to the Arlington Forest Club) to:
Jan Skelton
528 N. Oxford St.
Arlington, VA 22203
The Bylaws provide for priority to applications from residents of Arlington Forest Community, Barcroft, Glen Carlyn, Bon Air, and other area within the priority area boundaries. (see Priority Area Map)
The waitlist works as follows. Once an individual/family has been added to the waitlist, they will remain on the waitlist until a summer rental membership becomes available. The wait for a summer rental membership is projected to be at least four years for residents of the priority area and at least eight years for those residing outside the priority area. The wait for those applying at this time and residing outside the priority area could be significantly longer than eight years. Once an individual/family has become a summer rental member, they will remain summer rental members until a permanent membership certificate becomes available for purchase. The number of rental or permanent memberships that the Club is able to offer each year depends on the number of current members that decide to rent or sell their memberships.
In addition to the summer rental memberships and permanent memberships, the Club also offers August/September memberships to 30 individuals/families on the waitlist.
Cost of Membership
The cost of a membership certificate is $975, which is returned (less a $50 transfer fee) when the membership is sold. In addition, when you purchase the membership certificate, you must also pay a non-refundable $200 initiation fee. The cost of a membership will increase if the membership votes on certificate fee increases.
