Crystal City

Crystal City is a fascinating complex of office buildings, residential high-rises, shops, restaurants, and hotels, all near the Crystal City Metro station on Metrorail's Blue and Yellow Lines. Crystal City features dedicated transit lanes and Metroway, WMATA's premium bus service, operating between Pentagon City and Braddock Road Metro station in Alexandria on a dedicated transitway.

Crystal City streets feature a network of separated and on-street bike lanes, and a connector trail near the Metro station leads to the nearby Mount Vernon Trail. The Four Mile Run Trail is about a mile south of the Metro station with bike lanes and the Mt. Vernon Trail making the connection. There are Capital Bikeshare stations throughout the neighborhood.
