Find a newly built luxury condo in Old Town Alexandria at Abingdon Row

With the opening of the new Harris Teeter and several new real estate developments, the north end of Old Town Alexandria is suddenly a new and vibrant community. The success of restaurants like A La Lucia and even Haute Dog have started to draw as much attention as more established restaurants along King Street. The Art League's location in Old Town North is another harbinger of culture and tectonic shift that has made this neighborhood so exciting. A part of that mix is Abingdon Row, which was built just a few years ago as a luxury condo. Abingdon Row is found on N. Royal Street between 1st and 2nd Streets.
