How to Choose a Realtor

The community started when Scottish pioneers settled along the Potomac River in the early 18th century. The current community got its start in the 1920s when David Howell, from Alexandria, purchased hundreds of acres of land from the Robinson family. Howell built the golf club (now the Belle Haven Country Club) and many residences in the area.

Everything residents need can be found at the Belle View shopping center, which has several local restaurants as well as chain stores. The community has an ideal location for commuters, nestled just south of Alexandria and bordered by Route 1 to the west and the George Washington Memorial Parkway to the east. Many residents take advantage of the nearby Mount Vernon Trail, Dyke Marsh Wildlife Preserve and water access from the Belle Haven Marina.

Belle Haven belongs to the 22307 ZIP code.

Fun Fact

Early Scottish settlers named the area for the Earl of Belhaven.

I am a long-time Alexandria resident, celebrating 26 years in the residential real estate industry. Nothing is more satisfying than being in the middle of active negotiations between parties and ultimately reaching a compromise. It’s great to see and feel the properties and guide my clients through the process, and it’s also exciting bringing people together, finding that magic formula and watching their faces light up when the deal is struck.
