Amazon.com's future second headquarters in North America
Videos
Hey everyone!
I’m going to be joining Amazon at WAS19 (HQ2) in Arlington, VA soon, and I’ll be relocating for the role. Super excited — but I’ve got a lot of questions and would love advice from anyone familiar with the area or who has worked at Amazon HQ2.
A few things I’m trying to figure out:
Public Transportation – How reliable is the Metro and bus system around WAS19? Can I depend on it daily for commuting?
Amazon Shuttle Services – Does Amazon offer any shuttle service from nearby neighborhoods to WAS19?
Best Places to Live – What are some good neighborhoods (safe, reasonable rent, and good connectivity)? I’m looking for a place that offers a good value for money — doesn’t have to be super fancy, just livable and secure. I’d prefer something commutable via public transit or bike.
Anything Else I Should Know? – Any tips on moving to the DMV area, Amazon-specific info for new joiners, or must-know tricks for making the transition easier?
Would appreciate any insights from folks who've made this move recently or live/work nearby. Thanks in advance!
