The features list will fill a novel describing every knob on every vanity, each crystal that shimmers in each unbelievable fixture, handsome mixtures of woods and stone, moldings and trim, trays and vista walls, a main level master suite, an upper level rec. room, an outdoor living area with fireplace, a lower level club room, hearth room, ultimate bar and a state-of-the art theater. All out-shadowed by a Habersham Kitchen that cost (by itself) more than some single family houses to build. Never before and never again will you see a house of the magnitude built with such pride and sumptuous comfort.

On the Potomac and within eyesight distance of Washington, DC, lies the vibrant and bustling city of Alexandria, VA. The city is composed of several unique neighborhoods, each with its own character and excitement.

P H OTO C O URTESY: EHPI EN, FLI CKR.CO M, CREATIV E CO MMO N S

Old Town, Alexandria, the heart of Alexandria and the adopted hometown of our nation’s first president is an enchanting historical wonderland with all the amenities of a major city.

Among the century old buildings is a foodie scene fit for presidents, first families and all those in search of a gourmet dining experience.

Restaurants in Old Town have been known to be patronized by the likes of President Barack Obama and The First Family, President Ronald Reagan, Laura Bush and countless of the country’s early presidents. In addition to a sought after foodie scene is the Old Town Boutique District, a fashionistas paradise. The Old Town Boutique District, a collection of stylish and high end retailers, art galleries and restaurants is a great way to spend a day in Alexandria.

memories are preserved and honored. West End also offers family friendly entertainment options such as Cameron Run Regional Park which features a deluxe miniature golf course, a nine-station batting cage, picnic shelters and a special events pavilion; Great Waves Waterpark is another option for family fun, the park features massive pools, waterslides and great food.

PHOTO CREDIT: ALEXANDRIA CONVENTION & VISITORS ASSOC. Del Ray is another Alexandria gem. This neighborhood is a quintessential hometown with an artsy and eclectic ambiance. The atmosphere of Del Ray takes you back to a simpler time where neighborhoods were walkable and everyone knew your name. Mount Vernon Avenue, the main street of Del Ray is lined with independently-owned businesses where families, friends and their pets gather at coffee houses and local restaurants. The neighborhood also stands out for hosting signature events like Farmer’s Markets, Art on the Avenue (an annual art and street fair bringing in about 40,000 people), and First Thursdays (highlighting a different festival during each first Thursday of the month). Del Ray’s warm and inviting nature has made the area one of the most sought after neighborhoods in the Washington D.C. Metro.

West End, Alexandria’s largest and fastest growing neighborhood is just 8 miles outside of downtown Washington D.C. This bustling neighborhood is home to the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra, Northern Virginia’s only professional orchestra, the Fort Ward Museum & Historic Site, where the nation’s civil war

Alexandria’s collection of distinct and charming neighborhoods makes it an ideal place to call home in the Washington D.C. Metro area. The city is a haven for those wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of downtown D.C. while not compromising on all the comforts afforded by a major city. It is no wonder why listed homes in Alexandria reported an average of only 48 days on the market during January, 2015 along with realizing a 5.2% home value increase over the prior year. Alexandria also stands out among the rest of the D.C. Metro with a $323 median list price per square foot compared to a $194 average for the Washington D.C. Metro. The median listing price of Alexandria homes of $450,000 is also higher than the Washington Metro’s average of $434,000.

The stability, health, and allure of Alexandria’s housing market is also echoed by a foreclosure rate of 1 home for every 10,000 homes (a value of 1.0), compared to the Washington Metro rate of 4.1 and national average of 4.0.

Alexandria, the city on the Potomac stands out among the collection of cities compromising the most powerful area of all the US and arguably the world. With its 18th and 19th century architecture, collection of unique and thriving neighborhoods, character shaped partly by its pivotal role in our nation’s history but also by the people who call it home, people who are among the most educated and most artistic in the nation; in fact, Alexandria has more people working in the computer and math fields than 95% of communities in the US and more interestingly Alexandria is a city of artists, there are more people working in media and as designers and artists than 90% of communities in the nation. With the backdrop of our nation’s capital and a culture rich in history, yet modern and exciting, the city of Alexandria is a powerhouse all its own.
