Living at the Continental in Ballston lends itself well to an urban lifestyle. Residents are within walking distance of the Metro, entertainment options, parks, and neighborhood staples. The Kettlers Capital Iceplex is the practice ground for the Washington Capitals hockey team where you can watch the players train for free. The Ballston Common Mall has numerous eateries and shops. Oakland Park, Quincy Park, and Fields Park are all nearby along with the Central Library branch. The Ballston Farmers Market is just minutes away and residents can walk or bike to gyms, banks, grocery stores, and more. There are great schools in this neighborhood for families with children.

 

The Continental is just five minutes away from the Ballston Metro station which runs along the Orange line, allowing residents to walk out their door and quickly reach their workplace, errands, or social engagements with ease. The Metrobus, Zip Cars, and Arlington Transit are also great ways to get around if you don’t have a car. Many people choose to bike around the neighborhood, but I-66 is mere blocks away from driving commuters. Washington D.C. and the rest of Northern Virginia is easily accessible from the Continental.
