Nauck, also known as Green Valley, is a neighborhood where deep-rooted history meets everyday convenience. Framed by the Four Mile Run corridor, it offers quick access to the restaurants, boutiques, and arts scene of nearby Shirlington, including acclaimed performances at Signature Theatre. Commuters appreciate the short hop to major job centers, and weekend explorers love being minutes from Alexandria.
Outdoor time is easy here. The paved Four Mile Run Trail threads through the neighborhood, connecting to the region-spanning W&OD Trail for long rides or brisk runs. The redesigned Jennie Dean Park brings ballfields, courts, and shaded picnic spots, creating a lively community hub from spring through fall.
Families value the education options, including Charles R. Drew Elementary School, known for an inclusive culture and engaging programs, and the nearby Arlington Career Center, which offers high school students hands-on pathways in technology, health sciences, and the trades. Throughout the year, local gatherings and neighborhood initiatives celebrate the area’s African American heritage and the community’s forward-looking energy.
Housing spans classic brick duplexes, renovated bungalows, and contemporary townhomes, giving first-time buyers and long-time residents room to grow. Whether you’re prioritizing trails and parks, arts and dining, or a quick commute, Nauck delivers an everyday rhythm that feels both connected and grounded.
