Crystal City balances big-city energy with everyday convenience, set along the Potomac with sleek towers, sidewalk cafés, and shaded pocket parks. Part of the National Landing district, it’s adjacent to Pentagon City and minutes from Alexandria and Washington. Getting around is simple: the Blue and Yellow lines serve the Crystal City Metro station, and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is so close you can roll a carry-on there. Cyclists and runners connect straight to the Mount Vernon Trail for waterfront miles.
Weekends come with options. Stroll to Long Bridge Park for skyline views and turf fields, then cool off at the Long Bridge Aquatics & Fitness Center. The reimagined Water Park at National Landing adds terraced dining, fountains, and seasonal programming, while the Crystal City Shops offer an all-weather retail concourse under Crystal Drive. Dining ranges from fast-casual favorites to chef-driven spots, and a lively farmers market keeps weeknights interesting.
Families appreciate access to Arlington Public Schools, including options such as Oakridge Elementary, Gunston Middle School, and Wakefield High School. Housing spans modern high-rise apartments and condos, with new development bringing fresh amenities, rooftops, and pet-friendly perks.
