If youre looking for a 3-bedroom apartment in Vienna, youre probably trying to solve two problems at the same time. You want the space, and you want a location that does not make the Beltway the main character in your week.

Merrifield at Dunn Loring Station Apartments is at 8130 Prescott Drive, Vienna, VA 22180, right in that Dunn Loring and Merrifield pocket that keeps you close to Tysons and Fairfax without locking you in one direction. Its also a spot where running out for one thing can actually stay quick, which is not something every address in Northern Virginia can promise.

What makes this community especially worth a look is the variety of floor plan options. Merrifield offers renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartments and renovated 2-bedroom apartments with a den, creating homes that feel both expansive and comfortable.

Starting with Vienna, but also looking at Tysons or Fairfax?

Thats common around here. You might start with Vienna, then widen your search to Tysons, Fairfax, Falls Church, and Merrifield once you realize how much commute time depends on the exact place you choose.

Living near Dunn Loring helps keep your options open. Youre close enough to Tysons for an easy weekday drive, and youre positioned well for Fairfax and DC days too. Its the kind of location where plans do not require a strategy session.

How easy is the commute from here?

Which roads do you actually use? This area is built around the routes you already know. I-495 and I-66 are close, which matters whether your week pulls you toward Tysons, Arlington, Fairfax, or downtown DC. Gallows Road is also right here, and Route 50 (Arlington Boulevard) is a reliable backup when traffic decides to do its thing.

What about Metro? The Dunn LoringMerrifield Metro station is directly connected to the neighborhood. Even if you do not ride every day, having Metro as a real option is one of those perks you appreciate when its raining, when traffic is heavy, or when you just want someone else to do the driving.

What makes this part of town feel worth it?

Is the Mosaic District close enough to use often? Yes. Mosaic is one of those places that becomes part of your routine. Dinner. A quick store run. Meeting up without crossing half the county. Living nearby means its easy to go when you want, not only when you have the time and patience for parking.

What if Tysons is my other top choice? If you have been touring Tysons, this location gives you a strong alternative. You can stay close to Tysons without living in the busiest part of it, and you still have easy access to the Beltway for everything else you do.

Tell me about the renovated 3-bedroom apartments

If you want space and you want updated finishes, start here. Merrifields renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartments give you room for real life, not just technically a third bedroom. Its a solid choice when you want an extra room for work, guests, hobbies, or simply a more comfortable day-to-day setup.

And if an in-unit washer and dryer is on your must-have list, mention it early. Washers and dryers are available in select apartments, and the easiest way to shop is to focus only on the floor plans that match your list from the start.

Do you also have a 2-bedroom with a den?

Yes, and this is one of the most useful floor plan types in this market.

A 2-bedroom apartment with a den gives you flexible space without jumping straight to a 3-bedroom. The den can be a home office, a workout area, a guest setup, or a spot that keeps your living room from doing every job at once. Merrifield also offers renovated 2-bedroom apartments with a den and 2 bathrooms, plus in-unit washers and dryers in select homes, so you can narrow your search based on the features you care about most.

What should I do next?

Start with the floor plans. Compare the renovated 3-bedroom apartments to the renovated 2-bedroom apartments with a den, then narrow it down based on your real must-haves, including whether you want an in-unit washer and dryer (select apartments). After that, schedule a tour and let the leasing team walk you through the options that fit your needs and your timeline.
