Commute
Huntington Metro Station (normally just called “Huntington”) is the last stop on the southern end of the Yellow Line. The south mezzanine of Huntington station is built into a hillside creating a unique panoramic view of Alexandria.
Because of the hill, the station is elevated high above Huntington Avenue, but located below grade at North Kings Highway. The station is accessible via escalator access and via an interesting funicular elevator.
The lower entrance to the Metro is on Huntington Avenue at the foot of the Huntington Club.
Unlike many metro stations in Northern Virginia, Huntington has over 4,400 parking spaces accessible from both entrances. Because the parking is ample, many Huntington Club residents drive to Huntington and park in commuter garages.
For more information check Washington Metro Transit Authority, StationMasters Online or the Schumin Web Transit Center.
Huntington Club is served by a well developed road system near US Rt. 1, I-495, the Woodrow Wilson Bridge, and the George Washington Parkway. Because most of the homes around the area were built more than 40 years ago and because there is minimal opportunity or cause for cut-through traffic, the surrounding area is relatively free from the congestion that is commonplace in the Washington Metro Region.

For cameras and traffic updates we find Trafficland helpful, but country clubs, parks and rivers generally don’t generate much traffic!
