Northeast Alexandria blends established, tree-lined blocks with fresh energy from nearby corridors like Del Ray, Potomac Yard, Old Town North, and Arlandria. Commuters appreciate swift access to the Blue/Yellow lines, including the new Potomac Yard–VT Metrorail Station, while cyclists connect easily to regional trails and the waterfront.
Weekends here are built for being outside. Families and fitness enthusiasts gravitate to the playgrounds, splash features, and multiuse paths at Potomac Yard Park. Nature lovers wander the wetlands and ball fields of Four Mile Run Park, and dog walkers thread through the shady Mount Jefferson Park & Greenway. Dining, coffee, and independent shops along Mount Vernon Avenue add a neighborhood-on-foot convenience that’s hard to beat, with Old Town’s galleries and waterfront only minutes away.
Schools are a standout. Served by Alexandria City Public Schools, the area’s zoned campuses commonly include Mount Vernon Community School—known for its dual-language program—and George Washington Middle School. Community centers, pocket parks, and a busy local calendar keep neighbors connected, from youth sports to seasonal festivals.
Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or purchasing your first home, Northeast Alexandria offers everyday convenience with a friendly, front-porch pace. When it’s time to make a move, Agent Pronto can introduce buyers and sellers to a top-rated local agent who knows the neighborhood block by block.
