Skyline Plaza, a two tower 26-story condominium residence located in Falls Church is on a premium location seven miles away from the Reagan Airport and five miles from the Pentagon. The towers are surrounded by 10 beautiful acres of highly maintained landscaped ground. Skyline Plaza has easy access to I-395 which grants easy access to DC and destinations around the Beltway such as Tysons Corner.

The towers of Skyline Plaza were developed in the 1970s near historic Bailey’s Crossroads. Skyline Plaza is just minutes away from many strip malls (such as the Skyline Shopping Mall and Bailey’s Crossroads Shopping Center) malls (such as Landmark and Pentagon City), and urban shopping spots (like Old Town Arlington and Wilson Blvd. in Arlington).

 

The neighborhood is filled with all of life’s conveniences highlighted by a plethora of affordable ethnic cuisines and neighborhood restaurants. Walk Score rates this as a highly walkable neighborhood. I dispute this slightly because the Skyline neighborhood is heavily trafficked and serviced by 6 lane roads in some cases. Everything is close to Skyline, true. But not everything is walkable from Skyline. On the other hand, Skyline Plaza is has very active and clean bus service with quick shuttles to nearby metro stations.

 

Public schools near Skyline Plaza include Edison High, Thomas Jefferson High, Stuart High, Twain Middle, Holmes Middle, Glasgow Middle, Bailey’s Elementary, and Glen Forest Elementary.

 

On site, Skyline Plaza offers a variety of recreational activities. If you like playing pool there is a billiard room located on the Penthouse level of the North building. The billiard room contains two regulation size tables with cue racks. (No one under 12 is permitted in this area and ages 12 to 18 must be accompanied by an adult.) The billiard room is accessible everyday from 10 am to 10 pm.

 

Penthouse level party room at Skyline PlazaIf you have the need to entertain large number of guests, Skyline Plaza has you covered.
