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.

Their streets are very narrow and crowded with cars. The neighborhood seems to be pleasant, however the whole place is very old and possesses a "worn out" look to it. If you're looking for a larger house I wouldn't recommend it, but if you're looking for a smaller, cheaper home, then Marumsco Village may just be the neighborhood for you. There is an elementary school (Marumsco Hills) and a middle school within a mile from the neighborhood, so its convenient if you have younger children.
Northern Virginia is growing for a number of reasons. Many have settled here to get away from the city and found that it has a home town feel that is just right. The area has experienced a significant increase in residents that have families with children.

When driving throughout the area it’s hard to miss all of the schools, shopping centers, grocery stores, and play grounds.
Towns such as Leesburg have managed to keep their sense of history while welcoming the expanding county line. They have had to make adjustments like every other town in the area to accommodate the amount of children that are constantly enrolling.

The interesting thing is that despite the amount of children, families continue to have rave reviews about the class sizes and education that many across the United States would love to experience. Loudoun has ranked among the top tier school systems in the country.
To preserve the neighborhood feel, just about every subdivision has about a five to ten minute drive to the nearest shopping center that is filled with shops, restaurants, and gas stations. Many small businesses have been able to survive despite the economy due to this concept. Grocery stores have catered to the areas professionals by adding services like Express Lane and Peapod where they do your grocery shopping for you. On the weekends, parking lots across the region are filled with Farmer’s Markets.
It is possible to live in a great home town minutes away from the city. In 2005, it was impossible to purchase a house without twenty bids being on the property within the hour of it being listed.

Northern Virginia is a great testament to this fact and precisely why it will only continue to grow.
