Summary answer: Tysons offers a genuinely strong Pentagon and DC commute — with four Silver Line Metro stations located directly within Tysons itself (Tysons, Greensboro, Spring Hill, and McLean), you can typically reach the Pentagon in 30-40 minutes by rail without needing to drive to a station elsewhere.
I'm Johnny with JQ Real Estate. Let me give you the honest picture on commute times.
Realistic commute times from Tysons
| Mode | Typical Commute to Pentagon |

| Driving (I-495/Route 123) | 20-40 minutes, traffic-dependent |
Why this is a genuine standout compared to most NOVA cities we've covered
Unlike communities merely adjacent to a Metro station, Tysons genuinely contains four of its own stations — a real, substantial advantage for commuters that few other Northern Virginia submarkets can match.
