Positioned a mere 0.3 miles from the McLean Metro Station on the Silver Line, our community puts you minutes away from world-class music, outdoor entertainment, premium shopping, and gorgeous green spaces.
If you are looking to fill your summer calendar with memorable local experiences, here are the top fun things to do right in our backyard this season:
1. Experience Live Music Under the Stars at Wolf Trap
Located just a short drive away in Vienna, Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts is America's only National Park dedicated to the performing arts. Packing a picnic basket, rolling out a blanket on the lawn, and listening to world-renowned orchestras, pop stars, or rock legends under the night sky is a quintessential Northern Virginia summer tradition.
2. Check Out the Vibrant Scene at Capital One Center
Right down the street from Indigo is the bustling Capital One Center. This destination is an urban summer haven. You can head up to The Perch, an incredible eleven stories-above-the-street sky park featuring a local craft brewery (Starr Hill Biergarten), an 18-hole miniature golf course (Perch Putt), dog-friendly spaces, and a grand lawn that regularly hosts live acoustic music and outdoor movie nights.
3. Shop and Cool Off at Tysons Corner Center & Tysons Galleria
When the July and August humidity spikes, take advantage of the world-class indoor environments down the road. Explore premium retail shopping, dine at top-tier restaurants like Founding Farmers, or visit the seasonal indoor pop-ups. Don't forget to use your Indigo+ resident discount if you head to the interactive Hershey Super Sweet Adventure at Tysons Corner Center for some candy-themed family fun!
4. Plan Seamless Silver Line Metro Day Trips
Because Indigo is less than a half-mile walk to the McLean Metro platform, your options for summer day trips are endless. Hop on the Silver Line to head east into downtown Washington, D.C., to tour the Smithsonian museums, stroll along the National Mall, or grab dinner at the Wharf. Prefer to head west? Take the Metro out toward Loudoun County to explore regional parks or access easy transit to Dulles International Airport for a summer getaway.
