Welcome to Old Town Alexandria

A family-friendly community on the banks of the Potomac River

Replete with impressive waterfront views, Alexandria is nestled along the Potomac River and is found only a short distance from Washington DC’s downtown. Adjacent to both Arlington County and Fairfax County, Alexandria boasts a population of over 150,000, not to mention a historic atmosphere bustling throughout the lively location.
 
George Washington’s hometown, Alexandria is swimming in history. The settlement began as a town in the colony of Virginia in the late 1600s, though it was not incorporated until 1779. Embroiled in both the war of 1812 and the Civil War, Alexandria has been through many iterations and was officially separated from Arlington County in 1870. Its key seat in the annals of history has assured Alexandria’s status as an unequaled city for all. 
 
Today, Alexandria is known for its family-friendly community and inviting streets. Dotted in particular by the popular Georgian, Federal, and Victorian architectural styles, Alexandria is an attractive locale perched on the waterfront. With lots of activity, gorgeous homes, and tree-lined streets, Alexandria is the perfect location for families and young professionals looking to find their community outside of the dense downtown without losing access to the city.
 

Things to Love

  • Charming and picturesque cobblestone streets in the historic district
  • Lovely city-wide landscaping of cherry and apple trees
  • King Street Mile Shops and numerous restaurants and eateries to enjoy

People and Lifestyle

Alexandria can be characterized by its attractiveness to families — over half its residents have children under 18 years of age. This is helped in no small part by the excellent public school systems found throughout the area. Alexandria’s streets are charged with a warm, friendly ambiance that works in perfect continuity with its vibrant and cheerful environment. Most residents tend to rent their homes, though a large portion does own them.
 

Dining, Shopping, and Entertainment

With locales ranging from casual family dining to upscale, elegant evenings, Alexandria can do it all. For the family and young professional alike, the restaurant, bar, and entertainment scene of Alexandria is in a class to itself. 
 
Stroll the historic streets of Old Town at the King Street Mile in Alexandria, a varied and unique array of shops and boutiques throughout the district. For a bit of deluxe, air-controlled, and indoor shopping, take the short drive over to Springfield Town Center to visit any number of shops ranging from native Virginia shops and familiar, popular brands.
 
The food and drink scene throughout Alexandria is first-rate. Plan for a night at Sister’s Thai in Alexandria for some premier Thai cuisine, or reserve a table at Chart House for a delectable night of seafood. Or, visit Oak Steakhouse to check out a great contemporary twist on the iconic American steakhouse.
 

Things to Do

The activity never ends in Alexandria. From fine arts to reclining to the dulcet tunes of one of the area’s top symphonies, the opportunities are endless. 
 
Peruse the art of local Alexandrians by visiting the Annual Alexandria Old Town Art Festival each fall. Be sure to secure tickets to one of the most sought-after live performances in the area, the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra, a haven of musical talent and local community building.
 
As Alexandria’s premier event space, The Garden Alexandria is the ideal place to book your wedding. The whole family is certain to enjoy a trip to any number of Alexandria’s sterling parks, such as the Waterfront Park or the educational and fascinating Carlyle House Historic Park. The George Washington Masonic National Memorial and the Alexandria Black History Museum are also must-see destinations due to their national reach and historical import.
