No Car & Living at Seminary Walk? What are my options?

Moving from DC proper to Old Town Alexandria was a bit of a challenge for me, as my main mode of transport either by foot, bus, or metro. Though now I've owned a car the past year for occasional work purposes, I never needed it living in Crystal City, where I'd roll right out of bed, roll across the street, and hop onto the metro.

The local public transportation options are either from DC WMATA (www.wmata.com) or Alexandria DASH (www.dashbus.com). You can look up on their website for trip planner, or use google maps for more timely information.

While Seminary Walk is still pretty close to the metro, just about a .9 mile (or 15-20min) walk (depending on your speed), here are some options on buses and the schedules you can catch the bus from Duke St or off of Janney's Lane:

Bus Option 1: From King St. Metro, take AT2 westbound bus (towards Lincolnia) for approx 3 stops to Janney's Lane and W. Taylor Run Pkwy and walk down to Skyhill Road.

Bus Option 2: Take AT8 bus westbound (towards Van Dorn Metro) - stop at Duke St. & W. Taylor Run Parkway. Walk up W. Taylor Run Parkway and turn left at Dartmouth Road - turn left at Skyhill Road.
