Crystal Gateway at 1300 Crystal Drive is one of the original anchors of Crystal City, a so-called urban village in the southeastern corner of Arlington County, Virginia, just south of Washington, DC.
Constructed of cast concrete in the mid-Sixties, the condominium community comprises 17 floors and a two-story penthouse. The curvilinear Crystal Gateway adjoins Waterford House, which houses both condos and office space and fronts 12th Street. Together, the two buildings form a horseshoe embracing a landscaped courtyard and pool.
Crystal Gateway houses no more than four condominiums on each floor, with some floors having only three.
They range from:
- a two-bedroom, two-bath unit of 1,516 square feet to
- a three- bedroom, two-bath, one half-bath unit of 2,296 square feet
- to the penthouse's four bedrooms and three baths totaling 2,780 square feet
Typical units boast open floor plans; wall-to-wall carpet, ceramic-tile and hardwood floors; living-room wet bars; generous closets; spacious kitchens with updated appliances, Corian countertops and breakfast nooks; washer-dryers, and marble bathrooms with two basins and a soaking tub.
Expansive balconies, opening off living rooms and master bedrooms, afford panoramic views of the nearby Potomac River, the Capitol, the Washington Monument, the Kennedy Center and the distant National Cathedral.
Accessing those attractions couldn't be easier. Crystal City is served not only by Metro's blue and yellow lines but also by Metrobus, the Arlington Transit ART buses, and the Omnilink commuter buses; the Metro station is also a stop for Virginia Railway Express commuter trains.
It's just a 10-minute walk to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and Pentagon Row and 15 minutes to the Pentagon and Pentagon City Mall.
