Getting Around
Proximity Perfected.
Next to Nature, But Not Too Far from Major Metros.
The Northern Shenandoah Valley is a rare gem of a place that offers so much natural beauty, so close to major metros. The Northern Shenandoah Valley is just an hour and a half from Washington, D.C., and two hours from Baltimore. Plus, Virginia Beach, Ocean City, Maryland, and even Philadelphia and New York City are all easy day trips located within a four-to five-hour drive. Its location makes it easy to enjoy a peaceful small-town lifestyle while staying connected to some of the East Coast’s most vibrant cultural, business, and travel hubs.
The region is also close to three major airports: Dulles International Airport (IAD), Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), and Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), all within a two-hour drive or less. You can also fly in a matter of minutes through the convenient Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport (SHD), which has free parking close to the gate, short TSA lines, and direct flights to Chicago O’Hare and Washington Dulles, where one of United’s 70+ nonstop flights is just a layover away.
Go Far Without the Hassle
In the Northern Shenandoah Valley, long, stressful commutes are a thing of the past. Whether you’re cruising down I-81 or gliding along scenic routes like 11 or 522, getting to work feels less like a grind and more like a breath of fresh air. Say goodbye to bumper-to-bumper traffic and hello to open roads, rolling hills, and extra time in your day.
