Metro West is a creative, balanced, pedestrian-friendly community that takes full advantage of Metrorail and other mass transit opportunities, and anchors a collection of area neighborhoods. It offers a variety of housing choices, town houses to high-rise condominiums and rental units, convenience retail and the opportunity to work in offices just steps from where residents live.

At the Vienna-Fairfax-GMU Metro Station itself, Metro West creates safer and easier pedestrian and commuter access. Saintsbury Drive is widened and improved. Raised pedestrian crossings and new signals smooth traffic flow from commuters and ease direct access to and from I-66 east. Extending Vaden Drive from Saintsbury through Metro West to Route 29/Lee Highway alleviates crowding on Nutley Street and improves Metro access.

In its Town Center of offices, retail establishments and activity centers, Metro West creates an attractive shopping and destination point for transit riders, residents, workers and neighbors. Restaurants, shops, day care and fitness centers, dry cleaning, banking and other important services are just steps away. Metro West is designed to accommodate a minimum of 100,000 square feet of retail, service, institutional and governmental space, and 300,000 square feet of office space.

Housing choices range from high-rise multifamily units concentrated near the Metro Station to mid/low-rise multifamily units and single-family townhouse units toward the perimeters of Metro West. Each unit is wired for broadband.

Parks and recreation centers connected by green space and walkways place all Metro West points within a ten minute walk or less of one another. A linear park running the length of Vaden Drive also provides a buffer for our neighbors in Circle Woods.
