Automobile access is very good. Burleith is very convenient to downtown by Wisconsin and Pennsylvania Avenues, to Dupont Circle by R and Q Streets or Massachusetts Avenue, to Cleveland Park and Chevy Chase by going up Wisconsin Avenue. Arlington is just across Key Bridge, which can be reached either through Georgetown or by Canal Road (faster, except at rush hour). Interstate 66 is about 5 minutes away, in Arlington; Interstate 395 is about 10 minutes away, by Arlington Boulevard.

Bicycle access to downtown is excellent. To downtown or Dupont Circle, head east on R Street and cross the Buffalo Bridge on Q Street. Popular bike trails are found on the C & O Canal towpath; the Custis Trail that follows I-66 in Arlington; and the Mount Vernon Trail, which can be joined in Arlington and followed past Old Town Alexandria to Mount Vernon, Virginia. Both the Custis and the Mount Vernon Trails connect with the Washington & Old Dominion Trail (W&OD or "Wad"), a rail-trail which extends out 50 miles to Bluemont, in the mountains of Western Virginia.
