A favorite for its easy access and everyday convenience, this pocket on the western edge of Alexandria pairs mid-century brick homes and garden-style condos with tree-shaded streets and sidewalks that actually lead somewhere. Errands are a breeze around the Bradlee retail hub, while a quick hop over I-395 puts you in Shirlington for café patios and performances at the acclaimed Signature Theatre, whose calendar is worth tracking on the official site of Signature Theatre.
Outdoor time is well covered by the trails, picnic groves, and Civil War earthworks at the Fort Ward Museum and Historic Site, a city gem detailed by the Fort Ward Museum and Historic Site. Families appreciate the public school options in Alexandria City Public Schools, including zoning to Alexandria City High School and nearby elementary campuses; district programs, language offerings, and boundary tools are on Alexandria City Public Schools.
