Straight across the Potomac River from Georgetown and Foggy Bottom, Rosslyn counterbalances Washington’s classical style with a more modern urban design. The landscape is filled with glass skyscrapers, housing a mix of corporate offices and residential units; this allows many residents to easily walk between home and work.
The community cultivates a robust art scene, with numerous galleries, performance centers, and festivals showcasing the local and regional talent; venues like the Artisphere and the Rosslyn Spectrum Theater are local favorites, and the Rosslyn Jazz Festival draws thousands of music lovers every year. One of the most distinctive features in Rosslyn is the community-wide collection of public art, which includes the iconic U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial.
The neighborhood sits adjacent to Arlington National Cemetery, providing a beautiful area for quiet contemplation.
