Highlands at Gunston Corner Condominiums

Military homebuyers have the convenience of location, and different options for commuting from Gunston Corner to the Pentagon, Fort Belvoir, or Quantico Marine Base.

Located just under 20 miles from The Pentagon, your hassle-free commute from Gunston Corner may include:

• an easy to hop onto I-95 North (just three traffic lights from the on ramp) to drive individually in the regular lanes
• a quick run up around the corner to the Lorton Shell Park and Ride to pick up a slug (no…not that slimy thing that crawls around your backyard), and use the HOV lanes directly to the Pentagon (you can also be a slug and catch a FREE ride!)
• a mad dash to the Lorton Station VRE that will take you directly to Crystal City where you can transfer to the metro and ride two stops to the Pentagon station
• a 10-15 minute drive to the Franconia-Springfield metro station that will take you directly to the Pentagon station

Located less than five miles from Fort Belvoir, as a Gunston Corner homeowner, your commute would be less than the average Washingtonian commute, and you could probably come home for lunch!

And going against traffic with Quantico Marine Base as your destination, you should find the traffic steadily flowing down I-95 South as you wave to the north bound commuters.

This home is currently Under Contract, but there are others for sale!
