Capitals City Guide

The Capitals practice on the eighth floor atop the Ballston Quarter parking garage in Arlington, an upscale, transit-rich pocket of the D.C. metro. Everything below radiates from that Ballston anchor: North Arlington's quiet estate neighborhoods, doorman buildings within walking distance, and the District's marquee dining and culture a short drive across the river.
