Historic cobblestone streets meet a thriving urban village — Old Town, Del Ray, and beyond.
Alexandria is one of the most distinctive cities in the DC Metro area — a place where cobblestone streets and Federal-style architecture sit alongside a thriving restaurant scene and a waterfront that rivals any in the region. Old Town Alexandria has long been one of Northern Virginia's most coveted addresses, and for good reason: it offers the walkability and urban energy of a city neighborhood with the character and scale of a historic small town.
Beyond Old Town, neighborhoods like Del Ray, Rosemont, and Carlyle each have their own personality. Del Ray's "The Avenue" is one of the best walkable neighborhood strips in the region, while Carlyle offers modern high-rise living with direct Metro access. Whether you're drawn to a restored Victorian in Old Town or a new construction condo steps from King Street Metro, Alexandria has a home for every lifestyle.
With the Blue and Yellow lines providing direct service into DC, Arlington, and Reagan National Airport, commuting is seamless. And with Amazon HQ2 in nearby Crystal City, demand for Alexandria real estate has never been stronger.
