Neighborhoods such as Clarendon, Ballston, Rosslyn, Courthouse, Virginia Square, Lyon Village, and Shirlington each have their own personality. Clarendon and Ballston offer an especially lively mix of restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, fitness studios, and nightlife, while residential pockets provide a quieter feel just a few blocks away.
