About this neighborhood
What Alexandria Is
Alexandria is what most Northern Virginia transplants picture before they move here — cobblestone Old Town, Potomac River sunsets, century-old townhouses, and a Metro ride into D.C. that takes less time than parking in Tysons. The 22314 ZIP (Old Town) carries a premium for the historic district and waterfront; 22302 (Del Ray) leans family-walkable with a strong indie restaurant scene; 22305 (Arlandria) and 22311 (West End) offer the most accessible price points without giving up the Alexandria address.
2026 Market Read
The Year So Far
Alexandria has held its value through cycles that have whipsawed the outer suburbs. 2026 is steady, slightly up, with homes moving in about a month. The buyer pool stays broad — federal workers, dual-income professionals, and downsizers from Fairfax — which keeps things balanced even as inventory shifts.

Shoukoufa's Take
“Alexandria buyers tell me the same thing — they came for the proximity to D.C., they stayed for the neighborhoods. There's nowhere else in NoVa with this kind of walkable history.”
