An ad on the back of an Express last week caught our eye. While at first it looked like like an advertisement for any other residential condominium development near a Metro station, the precise station caught our eye. “Live Vibrant. Live Stylish. Live Largo.”

Yup, Largo Town Center, the Blue Line’s new terminus station.

The developers explained that thanks to “great access to work and play” and a “myriad of amenities” there was “nowhere else like Largo.” The development, Midtown at Largo Station, is advertising new condominiums from $250,000 and up.

Some snooping confirmed our suspicion this was the first transit-oriented development at the Largo station. The Stationmasters’ page shows the Boulevard at Capital Centre as the only commercial development in the area, but with sprawling parking lots designed with cars in mind. The Metro station and shopping center are so new they aren’t even in Google’s aerial imagery of the area.

Although we concede the long list of tenants at the shopping center might constitute a “myriad” of amenities, the station is 30 minutes from downtown Washington and ensconsed in an otherwise suburban setting. Will Largo Station be a hub of development with condos piled on top of condos? We’re not sure, but with condos previewing in the $200s we expect they’ll have plenty of inquiries.
