We are within walking distance of the Braddock Road Metro Station (0.8 miles) and the King Street Station (1 mile).

Three Metro bus routes serve our location from Braddock Road Metro Station: 10A, 10B, and 11C. There is a bus stop at Washington and Oronoco Streets for the 10A/10B Northbound toward Pentagon and the 10A/10B Southbound toward Hunting Point. There is also a stop for the 11Y line which runs between Braddock Road Metro Station and George Washington’s Mount Vernon. See schedules for the 10A/10B schedule or the 11Y buses.

The DC Metro region contains a network of nearly 400 automated bicycle rental stations for residents and visitors through the Capital Bikeshare system. Bicycles rented from one station may be returned to any station within the system. The Lee-Fendall House is only two blocks away from the Capital Bikeshare station at St Asaph and Pendleton streets.
