Landmark/Van Dorn. A hub of everyday convenience and ongoing reinvention, this west-end enclave delivers quick commutes, leafy parks, and a growing roster of amenities. Blue Line access at the Van Dorn Street Metro station keeps downtown connections effortless, while frequent, fare-free service on the city’s DASH bus network makes neighborhood errands and school runs refreshingly simple. Major corridors like I-395, I-495, and Duke Street sit moments away, and the forthcoming WestEnd redevelopment—anchored by a modern medical campus—promises new restaurants, services, and walkable streets.
Weekends often start outdoors at Ben Brenman Park, where broad lawns, a pond, and trail links invite joggers, dog walkers, and soccer teams alike. Just down the road, Cameron Run Regional Park brings summer splash days and mini golf, with easy access to the Holmes Run Trail for longer bike rides. Families appreciate the strong public school options within Alexandria City Public Schools, including Samuel W. Tucker Elementary and Alexandria City High School, as well as a calendar full of rec leagues, library programs, and community events.
From garden-style condos to townhomes with garages, housing choices fit a range of budgets and lifestyles, and daily needs are covered by nearby grocery anchors and international eateries along Duke and Van Dorn.
