Kingstowne

Franconia–Springfield Metro

6880 Frontier Drive, Springfield, VA 22150

Your options

Use the Frontier Drive station for a Blue Line journey and onward rail connections. It is one of Kingstowne’s nearby rail gateways rather than a station inside the neighborhood.

Plan the connection

Check station accessibility, parking and the route from your exact starting point. The bus or walking leg to the station can determine which rail gateway is more convenient.

02

Kingstowne

Van Dorn Street Metro

Your options

Compare the other nearby Blue Line gateway before choosing a journey. Metro’s station page provides arrival, parking and accessibility information for Van Dorn Street.

Plan the connection

Use the actual station entrance in your trip plan, not just a map search for Van Dorn Street. Check the final bus connection and return journey.

Kingstowne

Kingstowne circulators

Your options

Connector 231 and 232 are listed as the counter-clockwise and clockwise Kingstowne routes. Compare directions to avoid riding the longer way around the circuit.

Plan the connection

Use the current route timetable for service days and exact stops, then BusTracker for estimated arrivals. A route name does not promise all-day or weekend frequency.

Kingstowne

Step-free library access

7130 Silver Lake Boulevard, Kingstowne, VA 22315

Your options

Reach Kingstowne Regional Library without the main entrance stairs. The branch describes same-level entry from garage level G2 and elevator access from other levels.

Plan the connection

On G2, enter the door marked ‘2’ and use the double doors to the right. From the ground-floor entrance or lower garage levels, take the elevator to level 2.

Kingstowne

Plan a public walking route

Your options

Use county active-transportation maps to inspect the connections between your address, shops and transit. Neighborhood green space and public through-routes are not interchangeable.

Plan the connection

Choose crossings and public paths deliberately around major roads. HOA pools and gyms remain governed by resident-pass rules even when a nearby trail is visible on a map.
