Located
on D.C. Metrorail's Orange Line, Rosslyn is the last stop in Arlington before
entering the District and, compared to its more suburban-feeling
counterpart neighborhoods such as Courthouse and Clarendon, Rosslyn has
a distinctly urban feel. In large part, this is due to the corporate
and commercial businesses occupying the area, including nationally
known companies like Price Waterhouse Coopers, the Boeing Company, and
several major hotel chains such as Marriott and Hyatt.
A mix of culture and community,
Rosslyn offers a gamut of local activities such as the Rosslyn Spectrum
Theater, a vibrant performing arts venue featuring live music and
theater in the evenings, or the Arlington History Bike Tour. Rosslyn is
also home to an annual jazz festival each September. Although it is
known as one of Arlington's most urban villages, Rosslyn also provides
a home to those who seek to live outside of the District, and many of
the residential apartment complexes offer a serene view of the Potomac
River and the streets are often calm by the end of the evening.
