Pentagon Row is home to the largest outdoor ice rink in northern Virginia. Still not convinced? What about the outdoor dual-sided fireplaces for guests to lounge and warm-up while taking a break from skating? Pentagon Row has all the luxuries and amenities you could ever ask for. If you’re a beginner, they also have lessons for children, adults, as well as private lessons.

The holiday season is upon us, and we reflect on the past year and those who have helped to shape our business – our residents. We value each and every one of you and would like to express our tremendous gratitude for your ongoing support. We know that selecting where you live is a choice and we are humbled that you chose to make a Van Metre community the place you call home.

In 2021, the pandemic has, yet again, dominated our day to day life. We’ve all had to adapt to a “new normal,” although what that looks like is different for every person. We know 2021 has been difficult, but we are looking forward to a brighter new year – 2022. A year filled with hope and possibilities!

Thank you for your continued loyalty and trust in us. Kick back and relax in your Van Metre home, have a well-deserved rest, and let every day of the holiday season be filled with joy.

From our family at Van Metre to yours, Happy Holidays!

Sincerely,

Mike Barrett
