Crystal City

Crystal City is an Urban Village on more than one level - literally. A network of underground shops and walkways make this community unique. Above ground, Crystal City offers a dramatic streetscape of shops, office buildings, and hotels, and the new Potomac Yard development, all close to National Airport and Metrorail. The community is well served by Metrobus and ART-Arlington Transit, is close to the Mt. Vernon and Four Mile Run trails, and has its own VRE station.
