In 1966 bills were signed that allowed the creation of the Washington Metro Transit Authority in 1967. In the same year, the Huntington Club, a community of garden-style condos, were built between Huntington Ave. and North Kings Highway. About 15 years later, the Washington Metro and Transit Authority opened its first station in Fairfax County. This station was the Huntington Metro and it brought the Yellow Line to the Huntington Club. The Huntington Club is across the street from brand new condos called the Midtowns.
The Huntington Club abuts the Huntington Metro and its residents can easily walk to either entrance of the Metro. The Huntington Club is on a forested ridge which is a prominent geological feature in the region. These hill overlooks Old Town toward Shooter’s Hill, the Carlyle Towers and the George Washington Masonic Memorial. Most units at the Huntington Club have balconies (some have patios) and the location often provides pleasant views toward the city.
The Huntington Club has bright and airy units with ample windows. The condo fees include gas, trash, water, sewer, electricity and cable. The grounds are well-maintained and the swimming pool was completely refinished in the Winter of 2008. Prices at the Huntington Club relatively affordable and the neighborhood has a friendly and comfortable feel. I feel quite confident that if you want to live on the Metro, the Huntington Club may be one of the best buys in the National Capitol Region.
