Living in Rosslyn is very convenient. It’s very close to the metro and it’s only one stop away from Foggy Bottom. I can also easily walk into Georgetown DC by simply crossing the bridge. I feel very safe here too and it’s close to grocery stores.

I love living in Rosslyn. I've always felt safe here and there are a ton of areas to walk my dog. It is a bit farther away from where people typically go out (mainly DuPont) but it's very convenient to get to and from school.

While there's not as much to do in Rosslyn as there is in DC, it's quiet, safe, and super convenient. We have tons of transportation options (we don't own a car) and can walk to Georgetown easily.

This apartment complex is very safe! Virginia Square Towers is located in the Virginia Square neighborhood, which is right in between Ballston and Clarendon. Typically more social events happen in Clarendon, and Ballston has more chain restaurants and the mall. Being in the middle of these two towns is amazing because they're both within walking distance, and it allows me to have a quiet neighborhood to go to that is away from the chaos of both of those towns.

I enjoy my neighbors and the common crowd around this area is young professionals it seems. We are close to george mason university and marymount college, so there is sometimes a younger crowd in the area as well. We do have some houses around the area that I have seen mainly have newly established families (i.e. little kids or new to the area) and I feel safe walking around my area at night.

Safe and friendly neighborhood. On a busy street, so the neighborhood is mostly behind the complex. Even then, the suburb behind the complex is small before you hit another highway. Very easily accessible by car, not very much by metro. Also, that accessibility comes with the cost that things do not feel very walkable in most directions. Living here almost necessitates having a car.

Pentagon City is a great experience that is only about to get better with the new Amazon building and the influx of youth it will bring. It is a ways from DC which makes getting with friends difficult because they don't want to come to Arlington, and getting to DC requires 30 minute notice and planning.

The neighborhood is very walkable and has very accessible public transportation. It's not somewhere you typically would go out at night since nightlife is nonexistent, but Amazon just moved in and there is semblance of that changing. It's great if you are active (many gyms, parks, and Mt. Vernon Trail Access), enjoy restaurants like Chick Fil A (one right outside my building), and want to be close to everything.
