Alexandria, VA

Alexandria is a growing, historic community located across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. With an excellent public school system and abundant job opportunities in the area, many people are attracted to Alexandria real estate. The city’s Old Town district was one of the country’s first designated historic districts, and it still holds onto its 18th century charm today. Fashionable shops and restaurants, mixed with cobblestone streets and waterfront views, welcome both visitors and Alexandria real estate owners alike, making Old Town Alexandria real estate some of the most desirable in the city.

Several prominent organizations, such as The Salvation Army and Time Life, call Alexandria real estate home. Many government offices are also located here, including the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The city’s close proximity to the nation’s capital always makes Alexandria real estate a reliable and popular commodity.

Alexandria real estate prices have been increasing, but the city still remains a smart place to buy a home. Many people choose to buy Alexandria real estate because of the community’s high property values and its convenient proximity to Washington D.C. The Alexandria City public schools in the area are also excellent, making Alexandria real estate an ideal choice for families with school-age children. For more on Alexandria, see the facts below.
