Del Ray

at the center of Del Ray in Alexandria VA

Although its history doesn’t stretch to the colonial days, Del Ray is another old neighborhood. Del Ray was founded in 1894 as a “streetcar suburb” to Washington, DC. Most of Del Ray was built from the 1890′s to the 1950′s and retains that small town charm despite being so close to the center of the universe. Quaint streets with brick or stone homes are found on streets that branch off from Del Ray’s arteries.

At the heart of Del Ray is the main street: Mount Vernon Avenue. This where you’ll find a hometown mix mix of shops, restaurants and hardware stores. Braddock Road metro serves Del Ray and condos such as Colecroft Station are available here.
