Tysons Corner, VA 185 Apartments for Rent

Toying around on your iPhone? Well, you can thank Tysons Corner. In May of 2001, the first ever Apple store opened in Tysons Corner Center, an indoor mall that proudly boasts over 2,000,000 square feet of space and nearly 300 stores.

Tysons Corner has always been a social and financial fixture of the Washington, D.C. metropolis, but the great news is that due to recent development plans, its future just keeps brighter. While not a traditional urban center, Tysons Corner serves as one of the most vibrant and thriving areas in northern Virginia. With a quarter of its population in the 25-44 age bracket, upscale dining and entertainment options are clustered near every office building. Best of all, while Tysons lets you live at a slight remove from D.C., it’s still only 11 miles from the heart of the nation’s capital, meaning the city, and all of its museums, monuments and theaters are truly at your fingertips.

Countless apartments and condominiums have begun popping up near the ever expanding Silver Line, but there’s no need to wait: current rental options, luxury included, are both gorgeous and affordable. Spacious one bedroom apartments can start as low as $1,300 per month and two bedrooms hover just around the $1,600 mark.

Living in Tysons Corner

Presently, Tysons Corner is 4.9 square miles and bordered by the Virginia suburbs of McLean, Pimmit Hills, Idylwood and Vienna, among others. So while the city maintains a compact feel, the options nearby are abundant. Fixtures like Wolf Trap National Park are just a few miles to the west and provide residents with some of the best theatrical and musical performances in the country. Plus, big things are in store for Tysons’ future: by 2050, city planners will have transformed it into a proper, flourishing downtown area modeled after the city of Chicago—a plan which will double the current city limits. It also means that for the city’s projected 100,000 residents, there will be 200,000 available jobs; fantastic news given that the median household income for Tysons Corner is $103,000—and over $140,000 for families.

Getting Around Tysons Corner

Tysons is serviced by the D.C. Metro’s Silver Line, the newest addition to the city’s subway system which will eventually let riders reach Dulles Airport. There’s also a great bus system that moves residents quickly and efficiently through the surrounding suburbs. But, overall, Tysons is far more conducive to cars than a city like New York, where the very idea of driving is absurd. 

Those in the know on shopping, industry and luxury will fall instantly in love with Tysons Corner. Few other cities in the country are growing as rapidly, and even fewer are growing into such vibrant, cultural attractions. While Tysons Corner is a nice step away from the breakneck pace of D.C., it’s a far and exciting cry from your parents’ suburbs.
