Often referred to as a “walker’s dream” for its convenience and accessibility in terms of proximity to various establishments and available means of transportation, the Royalton is one of the prime residential areas in demand in this area of Northern Virginia.
The Royalton is only a walk away from the grocery store, Whole Foods, as well as the King Street Metro Station.

With large windows that allow for sunshine to break through and its 10-foot ceilings, tenants can surely find a comfortable getaway in the open, well-ventilated and spacious nature of this condominium complex.
Also, quite often noted are the lovely and upscale kitchens available in each condo unit, citing the 42” cabinets and granite countertops, which can possibly be a dream-come-true for every homemaker or food-lover, longing for a decent kitchen to make mouth-watering dishes in.
To add a little extra to the reasons why the Royalton will make a perfect home in Alexandria, amenities like a fitness gym and a library have been added for the benefit of their tenants. A secluded and rather lovely courtyard can also be a ready escape for those seeking a temporary reprieve from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Why Alexandria: The Roads to Mount Vernon
Across the Potomac River from Washington D.C. lies the city of Alexandria in Northern Virginia. This historic city is the location of Mount Vernon, once owned by the famous George Washington himself. Located along the Potomac riverbanks, Mount Vernon is connected to Old Town via the George Washington Memorial Parkway and Route 1.

You can take the scenic route by going through the parkway, which has a generous sprinkling of parks and wonderful scenery, including bike trails and lovely waterfront homes, which have differing and unique qualities about them.
Route 1, on the other hand, thrives with activity as a hub of industry and commerce in Alexandria. Amidst all this buzz, are multiple condominium complexes from Route 1’s south end to its north end.
In between these two main roads leading from Old Town to Mount Vernon, you can find a wide scope of differing and unique communities, distinctive to Northern Virginia.
With the history, the hubbub and the natural scenery that this area of Alexandria has to offer, it is no wonder that Alexandria, Virginia is said to have something that will fit what everyone is looking for in terms of real estate options.

Why Alexandria: The 395/495 Corridor
Alexandria is a city in North Virginia, located just across the Potomac River from the national capital, Washington D.C. This closeness to D.C. adds an allure to Alexandria, making it a lucrative destination for those seeking real estate options in Alexandria.
In terms of proximity to Washington D.C., one of the particularly notable neighborhoods and areas in Alexandria is the inner beltway along the 395/495 corridor. If there’s anything that this area has to its advantage, it is location. Downtown D.C. and the Pentagon are just a couple of minutes’ drive away from the 395/495 corridor, depending on the time of day (i.e. depending on the level of Northern Virginia traffic you need to contend with).
Right amidst the hubbub of this area in Alexandria is a variety of high rise condos and townhouses specifically centered in the Landmark area and the Mark Center.
Also, it is worth mentioning that the accessibility of the corridor is further enhanced by the fact that the Metro’s blue line with the Van Dorn Street station runs right through it, thereby assuring a convenient means of transportation for its residents.
Being one amongst Alexandria’s many real estate options, the 395/495 corridor offers convenience and accessibility, further asserting the idea that Alexandria, Virginia does have something for everyone in terms of real estate.
