Alexandria VA Info
Alexandria VA Real Estate and Community Info
Alexandria VA is probably the first stop for anyone considering a life in Northern Virginia or Washington D.C. Proximity to the Nation's Capital makes the area very popular for the young executive and grand variety of federal employees and politicians. It is also home to many charities and non-profit organizations.
When searching for homes, one must differentiate between the City of Alexandria, and the portions of Fairfax County with an Alexandria address. The City of Alexandria encompasses 15.75 square miles located south across the Potomac River from Washington D.C. and does not belong to any County. The Historic Center of Alexandria is referred to as Old Town and offers the feel of city life, a rich night-life and the added flavor of walking through history.
Right now is a fantastic time to buy Real Estate throughout Northern Virginia, and Alexandria is certainly no exception. Prevalence of older, smaller homes combined with the ideal location for anyone working in D.C. makes the homes and condos quite expensive in this area. Many people expand their search to include nearby cheaper areas such as Springfield, Alexandria (outside the City), McLean, and Annandale.
But if you are looking for convenience, a little hustle and bustle, character and culture galore, Alexandria may be just the place for you. The Ronald Reagan National Airport is just minutes from Old Town and the area is rich with historical sites, museums, parks, and tons of local Restauraunts and Shops.
