Crystal City

Welcome to Crystal City, part of Arlington’s National Landing area, next to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Its Metro station serves the Blue and Yellow lines, and a VRE commuter rail station adds service to Virginia. Amazon’s HQ2 brought new energy to the area, and underground corridors link offices, residential high-rises and stores, so you can cover much of the neighborhood without going outside.

Crystal City’s housing is mostly high-rise condominium and apartment buildings, many with views of the Washington skyline. Long Bridge Park offers lighted fields, a nearly three-quarter-mile esplanade and an aquatics and fitness center, and the 18-mile Mount Vernon Trail runs along the nearby Potomac.
