Alexandria – Old Town

Old Town exudes historic charm, from the traditional residences, brick sidewalks and historic landmarks to the past presence of George Washington’s leadership and as the childhood home of Confederate General Robert E Lee. Located on the west side of the Potomac River, it was crucial to the foundation of community, commerce and future development.

Today Old Town Alexandria offers a quality of life from your front door – an easy commute to the District, walking distance to a vast array of restaurants, shops, parks and a calendar of events including art galleries, parades, festivals and cultural celebrations. Getting around is easy – walk the main thoroughfare on King Street, take the King Street Trolley to King St Metro or hop aboard the water taxi to DC or National Harbor.
