Huntington is a small Virginia town that borders the larger city of Alexandria. The town has a longstanding tradition of providing affordable housing and is thus very popular with first-time home buyers. The Huntington Metro station, on DC Metrorail's Yellow Line, makes Huntington convenient not only to Alexandria but also to Washington, D.C., which is only about fifteen minutes away. Huntington has little to offer when it comes to accommodation; however, Alexandria, its larger neighbor to the south, has many good options.
