Neighborhood

Soaring apartment buildings, sleek office towers, hustle-and-bustle – this is Ballston. Historic rowhouses, tall trees, lush parks – this is also Ballston! This terrific neighborhood is the ideal blend of sleek, modern downtown and charming, tree-filled suburb. It’s very walkable and mass transit is readily available with the Ballston-MU metro station located on Fairfax Drive next to the FRESHFARM Ballston Market.

The neighborhood takes its name from the Ball family. This family first settled in the Arlington area way back in the 1700s. A Revolutionary War vet, Ensign John Ball, was one of the first settlers. Hockey fans will appreciate having the Kettler Capitals Iceplex in the neighborhood – this is where the Washington Capitals practice. In the heart of Ballston, Quincy Park provides residents with ball fields, picnic areas, and volleyball, basketball, and tennis courts.
