The Pentagon may be one of the world’s largest office buildings but shopping also helped to put Pentagon City on the map. Pentagon City is a dining and shopping destination inside the beltway. A variety of housing types can be found among commercial buildings, including hotels. The expansive Virginia Highlands Park provides green space, complete with playgrounds, basketball courts, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, walking trails, and a soccer field. Located just across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., and within walking distance of Pentagon City Metro station—one of the busiest stations in the system—this neighborhood is a good example of transit-oriented development and successful smart growth.
