Is there a better place to spend a summer afternoon than Old Town Alexandria?
King Street is lined with brick sidewalks that offer entrance to many shops and restaurants. At benches or around cafe tables, tourists and locals enjoy the atmosphere of Old Town. It's a place where folks find tasty treats to tempt the pickiest palate. A mix of people---patrons and peddlers, pedalers and pedestrians---pass as others pause to partake in a simple sidewalk sandwich. Flags---French and American, Irish and otherwise---give clue as to the fare found in these happy haunts.
Less than 2 blocks from where this picture was taken, one can find food that is French, Irish, Italian, Chinese, Thai, Mexican, Southern, Cajun, American, Colonial and more. Shops with collectibles, fine apparel and shoes, furnishings and touristy knick-knacks are all here. The King Street Trolley is free and an easy way to wander from the Potomac to the Metro and back again. Parking garages are found nearby under Market Square and elsewhere.
Why just visit Old Town when declining prices and a buyer's market mean that you can finally afford to live here? Here's a little info on a few nearby communities.

Prescott condominiums are located in the heart of Old Town Alexandria near the crossings of Cameron, Henry and North Fayette streets. The design of Prescott condos recreates early 1900 architecture in the form of Queen Ann style of row houses. Prescott offers an interesting contrast of exteriors that harken back more than a century and the best of modern interior design.
That design includes a designer kitchen with stainless steel appliances, 42 inch Maple cabinets and granite countertops. The units feature a nine foot ceiling in all living areas with thick hardwood flooring in the kitchen, foyer, living and dining rooms. The windows already have designer blinds installed. The foyer, living and dining rooms are nicely trimmed with two-piece crown molding. Closets feature wood shelving and all doors have brushed chrome hardware.
Old Town is a wonderful place to live, but in 1900 homes weren't pre-wired for cable, Internet and ceiling fans. The Prescott has this and recessed lighting in kitchen and dining room. Many units have spacious walk-in closets.
The bathrooms have ceramic tile in all baths with Corian vanity countertops with integral Corian sink and Kohler plumbing fixtures. Of course, the washer and dryer are in the unit and the rooms bedrooms have wall-to-wall carpeting.
Units have aluminum clad, double hung, tilt in, insulated windows with simulated true divided lights. The rooftop terrace with patio furniture and gas grill is a great way to get away and enjoy views of Old Town. Parking is always at a premium in Old Town but these units have underground parking space included with controlled access to garage, elevators and lobby.

Old Town (sometimes called Olde Town, Old Towne or Olde Towne) is in my opinion the heart of the city of Alexandria. As the name implies, Old Town is the oldest part of Alexandria, a port in colonial times. Old Town Alexandria is found along the Potomac, just inside the Woodrow Wilson Bridge and then north toward Reagan National Airport. Old Town is served by the King St. Metro and the King St. trolley. With over 100 restaurants, shops, boutiques, coffee shops, ice cream houses and more, Old Town has both a small town, upscale and touristy feel. For most folks there is a bit of prestige attached to an Old Town address. There are two high rises near the waterfront at the Alexandria House and Port Royal. Old Town Alexandria has many townhouses, row houses and a smaller number single family homes. |
