About the Building
The Continental is a 411-unit luxury highrise in the heart of Ballston, built in 2003 at 851 Glebe Road North. It’s one of the largest and most full-service condo buildings in the neighborhood, with easy walking access to the Ballston Metro, shops, restaurants, and nightlife.
Amenities include a rooftop swimming pool, fitness center, front desk, party room, theatre room, business center, library, garage parking, secure access, and elevator service. The rooftop pool with views and the theatre room elevate The Continental beyond the standard highrise amenity package.
The Ballston-MU Metro station on the Orange and Silver lines is steps away. At 411 units, the building has the scale to maintain premium amenities and keep them well-staffed. For buyers who want a luxury highrise with top-tier amenities and immediate Metro access in Ballston, The Continental is one of the neighborhood’s flagship buildings.
