The Location

Washington, D.C., holds more than just countless landmarks and historic sites; the nation’s capital is also home to five million residents who embrace accessible and vibrant city life. A culture rich with politics and the arts, coupled with a cosmopolitan social scene, makes Capital City the ideal location for work and play. Easy proximity to both Maryland and Virginia means that famous Eastern Shore beaches are only a few hours to the east, while Virginia horse country and the fantastic Blue Ridge Mountains are about two hours west. The restored waterfront of Baltimore is less than an hour north, and a short drive south takes you to the historic cities of Richmond, Norfolk and Williamsburg.
