Neighborhoods

Some parts of Alexandria are situated within the City of Alexandria, while others fall under Fairfax County. The City of Alexandria represents the historic district, offering convenient access to the Metro and proximity to the Waterfront. This area is known for its walkability, boasting a range of cafes and restaurants. However, these attractive amenities (and homes!) often come with a higher price point. On the other hand, neighborhoods in Fairfax County are typically seen as suburban, featuring larger homes and a distance from the Metro. As a military realtor, I offer assistance in the purchase or sale of properties in the entire area:

• Arlandria: Located in northern Alexandria, near Arlington. Residents enjoy easy access to the Four Mile Run Trail.

• Carlyle: known for its modern high-rise buildings, convenient access to Metro, and proximity to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Residents of Carlyle enjoy a dynamic urban lifestyle with a variety of dining, shopping, and entertainment options at their doorstep

• Del Ray: Located north of Old Town Alexandria. It’s known for its charming small-town feel and variety of restaurants, boutiques, and small businesses.

• Old Town Alexandria (including Braddock): Historic downtown area boasting picturesque cobblestone streets, stunning Potomac River vistas, and convenient access to notable landmarks like the Torpedo Factory Art Center and Carlyle House Historic Park.

• Potomac Yard (including National Landing): Located close to the Pentagon and Old Town Alexandria. With its proximity to the Potomac Yard Shopping Center and access to Metro, Potomac Yard offers residents a convenient and lively urban lifestyle.

• Landmark – Van Dorn: Known for its convenient location near major highways and public transportation, making commuting to other parts of Northern Virginia easy.

• Kingstowne: Considered a suburban paradise, featuring the Kingstowne Towne Center, a charming hub of retail shops and restaurants. Situated near Springfield, it's a sought-after destination for military families who work at Fort Belvoir and The Pentagon.

• Cameron Station: A vibrant community known for its blend of traditional and modern living. Originally a military base, it has been transformed into a charming neighborhood with tree-lined streets, well-maintained parks, and a strong sense of community. Residents enjoy easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment options at the nearby Cameron Station Plaza.
