  • Del Ray

    Del Ray

    What it’s like to live in Del Ray

    Young families priced out of Old Town Alexandria discover perfect compromise in Del Ray, where 1920s bungalows and townhomes create genuine neighborhood character without corresponding premium pricing. The community's pedestrian-friendly design centers around Mount Vernon Avenue's vibrant commercial district where locally-owned businesses still outnumber chains, creating authentic street life beyond corporate retail experiences. Unlike newer developments, these properties typically include front porches fostering neighborhood connections beyond privacy fences, while modest yards provide outdoor space impossible to find in denser districts. The neighborhood's location offers reasonable commutes to both DC employment and Pentagon/Crystal City offices via nearby Metro stations. What parents appreciate most: the community's family-focused events from Halloween parades to summer movie nights create childhood experiences increasingly rare in metropolitan environments prioritizing adult-oriented development.

    Old Town

    What it’s like to live in Old Town

    Colonial elegance defines Old Town, where 18th-century architecture creates one of America's most distinctive historic districts along the Potomac River. Most rentals feature unexpected details from original hardwood floors to decorative fireplaces reflecting craftsmanship from earlier eras, while the compact neighborhood design enables genuinely walkable living unusual for Northern Virginia. Though commanding premium rental rates by regional standards, the combination of architectural significance, exceptional walkability, and direct Metro access to downtown Washington typically justifies the investment for those seeking sophisticated environments beyond purely contemporary aesthetics increasingly dominating newer Northern Virginia developments.

    Braddock Road Metro

    What it’s like to live in Braddock Road Metro

    Transit-oriented convenience defines this evolving Alexandria district where new apartments surround Braddock Road station providing direct Metro access to both DC employment and Reagan National Airport. The walkable neighborhood features a growing collection of independent businesses from coffee shops to restaurants, creating genuine pedestrian experiences unusual for typically car-dependent Northern Virginia communities. Though some blocks remain in transition with varied commercial development, the combination of walkability, transit access, and more reasonable rental rates than Old Town creates compelling value for households seeking practical urban living without corresponding premium pricing increasingly affecting Alexandria's more established historic districts.

Living in Alexandria, VA

Alexandria has a high population of renters, so finding your place won’t be too difficult. The most common types of rental housing you’re likely to find are large high-rise apartments and town houses, many of which are newly built or in vintage buildings that have been heavily renovated. These places are pristine and condo-like, with nice kitchens, new appliances, and luxury unit or building amenities thrown in. Units are likely to have central heat and air, and most have a washer and dryer in the unit or have laundry facilities on site. Most places here are equipped for living and entertaining.

Because so many of Alexandria’s dwellings are more luxurious and updated, it’s a bit more unusual to find all or any utilities included in your rent, especially in new places and townhouses
