Introducing Indigo at McLean Station

Discover Indigo at McLean Station — A New Chapter in Tysons Housing What Is Indigo? Indigo at McLean Station (formerly known as Somos at McLean Metro ) is an exciting new affordable housing development located at 1750 Old Meadow Road, set to open in 2026 . The project encompasses 456 thoughtfully designed apartments —231 apartment homes in Phase A and an additional 225 in Phase B—offering a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes for households earning 70% or less of the area median income . This walkable, mid-rise community is a bold solution to the region’s affordability challenges within the high-cost, transit-integrated Tysons Urban Center. Location & Transit: Connecting Residents Seamlessly .3 miles from McLean Metro Station (Silver Line) — a leisurely walk from home to station. A pedestrian bridge over I-495 brings residents directly to Tysons Corner Center in under 10 minutes on foot. The McLean Station itself offers excellent connectivity, including bus routes A70 and Fairfax Connector services, as well as bike-share options, making it a key transit hub. Neighborhood Highlights — What’s Nearby? Living at Indigo means being steps away from everything Tysons has to offer: Tysons Corner Center : A massive shopping destination with over 300 stores , including Macy’s, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, and a diverse lineup of specialty retailers. Capital One Center & Capital One Hall : A major entertainment and economic hub, offering concerts, dining, and culture less than a short walk away. Wegmans and The Perch : Popular grocery and dining spots within quick reach. Westgate Elementary School : A local school within walking distance. Why Indigo Matters: Affordable Housing Meets Location Tysons is known as an “edge city”—a bustling urban hub with intense demand and soaring housing costs. With a median household income of around $129,000, lower-income households often struggle to find homes within Tysons that are both affordable and accessible. Indigo at McLean Station redefines that equation. It expands access and opportunity by offering high-quality, income-targeted housing that’s walkable to transit, school, shopping, entertainment, and employment. As one local observer put it: “It really is our economic engine — steps away from the McLean Metro Station, Capital One Hall — which helped make this project a reality.” This new development supports Fairfax County’s goal of building 10,000 affordable dwelling units by 2034 , offering stable homes near the heart of where people live, work, and play. In Summary — Why Indigo Deserves the Spotlight Indigo at McLean Station is more than a new development—it’s a game-changing affordable housing community in Tysons Corner , blending location, connectivity, and access . With the Silver Line at your doorstep, Tysons Corner Center within reach, and direct access to local entertainment, groceries, schools, and future urban developments—this community stands out as an exemplary model of transit-oriented, inclusive urban planning.
