Charming Old Town Village

In the southwest quadrant of Alexandria, VA lies a beautiful section of real estate known as Old Town Village.  Many people who settle in Alexandria come here for a number of reasons and one of the being it the charming character of each neighborhood.  Consequently, Old Town Village is no exception and it has lots to offer.  When researching this area of the city, I found that residents had the ability to catch the metro, enjoy plentiful dining options, and great shopping. The neighborhood has a collection of condominiums, townhouses, and single family’s that all meet the needs of an eclectic buyer pool.  If you are a busy professional looking to get into the market but don’t want the hassle of taking care of a large home, then you should consider looking at Canal Place, Port Royal, and Potowmack Crossing.  However, for small and large families looking to settle into Old Town Village there are several communities that may be the right fit.  Currently there are a host of townhomes available like the one on 1220 Roundhouse Ln, Alexandria.

Carlyle Living

United States Patent and Trademark Office
The USPTO's glass cuts a striking line in Alexandria's skyline.
Finding a new place to live in Alexandria might not be as hard as you think.  If you are looking for something new and fresh then the Carlyle district might be a great option.  This area is located next to Old Town Alexandria but doesn’t take away from the flavor and charm of city living.  It includes condos and high rises that are complete with office buildings, restaurants and metro access. Several local businesses are located off of John Carlyle which in include Grant Thornton & the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.  The options for transportation couldn’t better with easy access to bus stops and the metro.  This neighborhood gives access to all the things many commuters and business professionals find important.  The dining options are endless and you don’t have to go far.  Many of them are a few steps away.  I enjoyed walking the streets and often felt as if I was in the middle of rush hour on foot.  The streets were lined with business men and women walking from one destination to the other. The great thing about living here is that if you ever have company you can have comfort and knowing that there are hotels minutes away and includes a number of local sites to take them to.  If you are interested in finding a new hip, modern, and classy location, you should consider Carlyle.  A few locations to check out would be Carlyle Towers, Carlyle Square, and Royalton Condos.

Cherry Blossoms and the monuments

Julie and I rode bikes from Old Town up to Washington DC to take a look at the cherry blossoms. We rode along the GW Parkway on the Mount Vernon Trail to Theodore Roosevelt Island and then we turned back crossing the river into the city. It was a pleasant morning and a good time.
