Old Town Alexandria Homes for Sale

Old Town Alexandria is the crown jewel of the Northern Virginia market — a National Historic Landmark district where 18th- and 19th-century Federal townhomes, restored carriage houses, and boutique waterfront condominiums line cobblestone streets that run down to the Potomac. For buyers who want walkable, historic charm just minutes from the District, nothing else in the region quite compares.

The Old Town lifestyle

Life here revolves around King Street's mile of independent shops and chef-driven restaurants, and a revitalized waterfront with its marina, parks, and a seasonal water taxi to The Wharf and Georgetown. Weekends mean the Old Town Farmers' Market (running since 1753), the Torpedo Factory Art Center, and riverfront festivals — all on foot.

The housing market

Old Town spans historic Federal and Victorian row houses and restored carriage homes through to luxury new-construction condominiums on the water. Because it's an architecturally protected historic district, inventory is limited and character-rich, which has long supported strong, resilient values. Whether you're after a pied-à-terre or a landmark residence, it's a competitive market that rewards a well-prepared buyer.

Location & commute

Old Town is one stop from Reagan National Airport (DCA) on the Blue and Yellow lines at King St-Old Town, with a free trolley running the length of King Street, quick access to I-495 and the GW Parkway, and roughly a 15-minute drive to downtown DC — among the most connected addresses in the capital region.
