The pools at Watergate at Landmark
Watergate at Landmark is located in the West End of Alexandria between I-395 and I-495 (the Capital Beltway). In today’s market the condos at Watergate offer a measure of luxury and a convenient location at a reasonable price.
One of the many amenities of the Watergate is the large resort style pool.
But when it rains or in the winter, there is still a nice place to take a dip at the Watergate. Although not so large as the outside pool, the indoor pool is nonetheless quite pleasant, with plenty of room for taking laps.
The library is just one of the many rooms in the Landmark community center where residents can relax.
Why do I need a pre-approval to shop for homes?
Buying your new house or condo involves a multitude of steps. Having a real estate agent ensures that these steps go smoothly for you. Having said that, one of the most important aspects of your new home purchase is getting a loan secured. Doing so in advance ensures benefits you in three ways:
- You are searching for properties that will be within budget
- Your offer carries extra weight because of your ready to buy status
- The home buying process will go smoother and quicker through its final stages.
The value of these three together is quite great, and can make the difference between getting the home of your dreams and that one that “just got away”.
