Arlington Virginia Real Estate: the Northern Virginia Property Listings, Land and Luxury Homes
Alexandria, Virginia is located on the west bank of the Potomac River, six miles below Washington, D.C. and nine miles north of Mount Vernon.
Alexandria, which is almost 50 years older than the City of Washington, is one of America's most historic communities. It has many authentic eighteenth-century buildings, and the charm of the "Old and Historic District" is carefully preserved by strict architectural and demolition control.
Alexandria has experienced unprecedented commercial development. Today the Old Town historic district is known for its array of museums, architecture, special events, fine restaurants and hotels, and other attractions that draw more than 1.5 million international and domestic visitors to it each year.
