What it’s like to live in Ballston - Virginia Square
Urban energy defines Ballston-Virginia Square, where Arlington's Orange Line corridor offers genuine city living minutes from DC via Metro. The walkable district features contemporary high-rises with ground-floor restaurants creating vibrant street life unusual for typically suburban-oriented Northern Virginia communities. Though rental rates reflect the premium location, excellent public transportation reducing or eliminating vehicle expenses, exceptional walkability to both everyday amenities and entertainment options, and strategic positioning between multiple employment centers typically justifies the investment for professionals seeking urban convenience without DC's extreme housing costs increasingly requiring substantial financial compromises beyond individual earning capabilities.
