Alexandria is one of those places where the neighborhood you choose completely changes the lifestyle. Old Town offers cobblestone streets, historic homes, row houses, shopping, restaurants, waterfront access, and a highly walkable, dog-friendly feel. Del Ray has its own charming small-town vibe, with walkable streets, local businesses, smaller homes, and a mix of older houses and townhomes. Head farther south toward Belle Haven and Mount Vernon along the George Washington Memorial Parkway and you’ll find established neighborhoods, larger homes, and a strong community feel. You give up some walkability, but you’re still close to Washington, D.C.
