Unbeatable location at the Huntington Club
The Huntington Club is on the Huntington Metro and is one of the few affordable locations in Northern Virginia where one can walk to the metro. I’ve just posted a new sale for $129k for a 2 BR. If that doesn’t make your eyes pop, then you don’t yet know how much things cost in this area. Contact me for more details.

Here are a few pictures I recently snapped at the Huntington Club in Alexandria VA / Fairfax County just outside Old Town and the Beltway.
This is looking up-hill at the 3 BR’s and townhouses at the top of the community.
Here’s 2626. I currently have a great deal for rent there. A two-bedroom condo with all utilities included: walk to the metro for less than $1400. Contact us for more information about this condo for rent.
Most units at Huntington Club have a balcony. Some units have a patio.
The patios can be quite pleasant and the community is generally very barbecue-friendly.
The children’s play-ground is quite nice. The community has a basketball court for those who are interested.
The trees and flowers around the buildings are quite nice.
Huntington Club has many interesting architectural and landscaping details.
Huntington Club
In 1966 bills were signed that allowed the creation of the Washington Metro Transit Authority in 1967. In the same year, the Huntington Club, a community of garden-style condos, were built between Huntington Ave. and North Kings Highway. About 15 years later, the Washington Metro and Transit Authority opened its first station in Fairfax County. This station was the Huntington Metro and it brought the Yellow Line to the Huntington Club. The Huntington Club is across the street from brand new condos called the Midtowns.
The Huntington Club abuts the Huntington Metro and its residents can easily walk to either entrance of the Metro. The Huntington Club is on a forested ridge which is a prominent geological feature in the region. These hill overlooks Old Town toward Shooter’s Hill, the Carlyle Towers and the George Washington Masonic Memorial. Most units at the Huntington Club have balconies (some have patios) and the location often provides pleasant views toward the city.
The Huntington Club has bright and airy units with ample windows. The condo fees include gas, trash, water, sewer, electricity and cable. The grounds are well-maintained and the swimming pool was completely refinished in the Winter of 2008. Prices at the Huntington Club relatively affordable and the neighborhood has a friendly and comfortable feel. I feel quite confident that if you want to live on the Metro, the Huntington Club may be one of the best buys in the National Capitol Region.

condo comparison at the Huntington Metro: AMENITIES
This is part of series of articles comparing the benefits of condos in close proximity to the Huntington Metro
Amenities are an important part of any condo buying decision.
Amenities such as a pool and fitness room are pretty standard in most
condos, but some condos offer a bit more. It is no different in the
four complexes surrounding the Huntington Metro.
No matter how you compare them, the best amenities on the block are
at Montebello. Montebello’s community center is home to most of these
amenities and it is well-maintained and pleasant. Here’s a list of some
of the features of Montebello.
- Parks & Grounds
- Security
- 24-hour security
- gated community
- Indoor Activities
- Convenience & Services
- Party Rooms & Common Areas
- Health & Fitness
- Pools
The runner-up in this category is at the Midtowns at Alexandria. The
Midtowns have an absolutely gorgeous lobby and lounge (a cyber cafe) on
the first floor. The pool at the Midtowns is on a roof deck located
half-way up the building. From this party deck, one has great vistas
toward the Blue Ridge and the city of Alexandria. There are barbecue
stations and more to enjoy here on the deck. The party room is first
class and state of the art. It’s the type of place you’d be proud to
bring guests or enjoy as a resident.
The Huntington Club and the Hunting Creek Club are far behind the
first two on this list. These two condos have more pedestrian offerings
that are standard fare. Both have a pool, party room and fitness room.
(Huntington Club recently renovated their pool.) Hunting Creek Club has
a nice tennis court.

If you need a balcony or patio in your condo, you’ve come to the right place. All four of these complexes have balconies or patios in most units. The Huntington Club, the Hunting Creek Club and Montebello all have balconies, patios or verandas in every single unit. Now obviously the new units have slightly more appealing balconies, but to sort them from top to bottom, this comparison focuses on the views.
If a good view is something you absolutely must have from your condo and balcony, you’re best chance of finding that view is at Hunting Creek Club. Nearly every unit in the building offers a panorama over the city or toward the Potomac. Some of these units have absolutely breathtaking views. You must see them to appreciate them as 400 pixels of cyberspace can’t approximate what you’ll see.
You’ll find good views at all the others. Many decks at Huntington Club look toward the US Patent & Trademark Office, the Carlyle skyline and the Masonic Temple at Shooter’s Hill. Montebello has many pleasant views into and above the treetops. At the Midtowns you’ll find a nice view here and there. So, it is possible to find good views at any of the others. But at Hunting Creek Club you will consistently find sweeping and pleasant views.

Huntington Metro Station
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. The high rise along the tracks is the Midtown Alexandria Station.
Huntington Metro
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.
Yellow Line tracks at Huntington Metro
The lower entrance to the Metro is on Huntington Avenue at the foot of the Huntington Club. The bridge in this picture is the metrorail. The bus is one of many that use the Metro as a hub. 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.
