Once a cluster of industrial lots and motels, Crystal City has transformed into one of Arlington’s most innovative and connected neighborhoods, where thoughtful planning meets bold reinvention. Born in the 1960s as one of the region’s first mixed-use communities, Crystal City combined residential towers, office space, hotels, and an underground retail corridor into a self-contained urban village. Its evolution continued with the arrival of federal agencies, the Metro and VRE stations, and now Amazon’s HQ2, placing it at the heart of National Landing’s next chapter. Known for its efficient layout, walkability, and future-focused development, Crystal City offers a vibrant, accessible lifestyle rooted in progress, community, and opportunity. It’s a neighborhood for those who value both innovation and connection, where tomorrow is always in view.
