Alexandria

Once a bustling tobacco port and a hub of early American commerce, Alexandria, Virginia, has long been a city of strategic importance. Located along the Potomac River just eight miles from Washington, D.C., Alexandria offers proximity to the nation’s capital while maintaining its own distinct identity.

Its charming downtown preserves Alexandria’s Colonial roots with cobblestone streets and historic architecture, while the city today serves as a hub for business and government activity. Alexandria’s unique mix of history, modern convenience, and economic vitality makes it an exceptional place to live.

Alexandria's Housing Market

Alexandria’s real estate market reflects its blend of historical character and modern appeal. In Old Town, you’ll find beautifully preserved Colonial-era rowhouses and townhomes dating back to the 18th century.

Elsewhere in the city, neighborhoods like Del Ray and Rosemont feature charming bungalows and Craftsman-style homes, while more contemporary options, including condos and apartments, are available in developments like Carlyle.

Alexandria’s proximity to Washington, D.C., makes it an attractive option for commuters, and its neighborhoods are known for walkability and accessibility to public transit, including Metro and bus lines.
