Once open land and industrial space, Pentagon City has transformed into one of Arlington’s most vibrant and transit-connected urban neighborhoods. Spurred by major post-war development efforts and the arrival of the Metro in 1977, the area evolved rapidly into a dynamic mix of high-rise residences, office towers, hotels, and retail destinations, all centered around accessibility and smart urban growth. Its proximity to the Pentagon and Reagan National Airport makes it a strategic home for professionals, travelers, and government workers alike. Today, Pentagon City continues to grow as part of Arlington’s vision for a walkable, mixed-use future, offering a blend of convenience, energy, and modern design, perfect for those who value connection, progress, and a community built to thrive.
