Old Town AlexandriaOur community is located about 2 miles from Old Town Alexandria, famous across the region and the world-over for high-end shopping, intriguing restaurants as well as taverns, public houses and night clubs. We've provided a very short list of activities in the neighborhood, but you'll find more to do and more to explore at the official site for the Fun Side of the Potomac. Check out the Alexandria City Site . The Alexandria Chamber of Commerce also lists many attractions.
The city's roster of historic sites underlines how historically influential it has been. Thomas Jefferson entertained at Gadsby's Tavern; Robert E. Lee worshipped at Christ Church. The Old Town district includes more than 4,000 historic buildings, outstanding examples of early American architecture that now house small businesses and gracious homes, all waiting to give you a modern welcome. Old Town is characterized by brick sidewalks that line historic structures. Elegant modern structures are carefully planned to fit with the feel of Old Town. Old Town is pricey and parking can be a bit of a hassle. For my part Old Town is a wonderful place to visit, but I prefer to live near Old Town and not in Old Town. I think the shops and boutiques of Old Town are wonderful, but I also like suburban style big box shopping and warehouse restaurants. Our neighborhood is situated between these two worlds. This is nice because when residents who are in the mood for creme brulee and slow sipping of $5 coffee by the River, Old Town awaits. But sometimes I want to visit Checkers for the Big Buford and dig through the bargain bin at TJ Maxx. Either way, it's all here. |
Shopping in Old TownAnne Taylor, Banana Republic, the Gap, Birkenstock, Brooks Brothers, & Talbot are just a few of the nationally recognized retailers with a presence in Old Town. In addition a wide variety of boutiques and shops provide clothing, jewelry, books, home furnishings and more.
Dining in Old TownAlexandria has a plethora of cuisines available in local restaurants. Prices range from fast-food to fine-dining, but most of the restaurants in Old Towne offer upscale fare at reasonable prices. Also, you'll find the variety and selection you would expect at any tourist spot: ice cream parlors, specialty bakeries, taverns and public houses.
Evening in Old TownThroughout the year Old Town Alexandria remains a popular night-spot for locals and tourists alike. Old Town has a unique vibe though. You won't find frat-style keg parties, or sweaty after-hours discoteques in Old Town. The evening starts with families and tourists and the dancers and drinkers show up late. The atmosphere is subtly more upscale than other nightspots in the DC area. The partiers are laid-back and approachable but well-dressed with impeccable behavior.
