Alexandria, Virginia has been inhabited since the late 1600s. However, it was not called "Alexandria" until much later. This charming, historical community in Fairfax, County saw a great many battles fought on or near its soil.
Much of the history associated with the Civil War and the battles fought in Virginia is what draws many historians to this part of the United States. With so much to explore, from the nation's capital to Civil War battlefields, there is no reason to wonder why history buffs love this area. Historically rich, and filled with a natural beauty that Virginians really do love, Alexandria VA homes have a lot to offer.
The Alexandria part of Fairfax County is located to the south and to the west of the City of Alexandria. This area is close enough to DC for easy commuting for all workers. Many homes in this area have easy freeway access, making the drive into the capital relatively easy. Washington car commutes have a habit of becoming heavily congested during rush hour traffic. One good thing for those workers who take alternative transportation: they only need to walk a few minutes before encountered one of the many local bus stops.
Alexandria real estate prices typically range from the $200,000s (one bedroom condos) on up to the millions (luxury single family detached homes). Location within the community determines both price and size of homes. Red-brick buildings hundreds of years old share space with red-brick structures built in the last few decades. The old and the new blend together nicely in this lovely old city.
You’ll find some two bedroom single family homes in Alexandria, however, most have three or more bedrooms.

The area has its own playground and a nice grassy park setting for people to toss a frisbee or ball, or for people to enjoy a nice quiet picnic together.
Sunny Ridge Estates is another subdivision of Alexandria homes that is currently experiencing a lot of demand. Just minutes from I-495, the homes in this neighborhood range from fixer-uppers that can be purchased for under $500K to brand-new homes that will cost close to a million dollars. Mostly a blend of old and new rambler-style homes, the neighborhood is filled with large, grassy yards and plenty of happy children outside playing.
There are great subdivisions to choose from all over the area. Homes right on the Potomac River typically cost the most; those further west or south will cost less. Whatever your priorities are in choosing a home will determine where you should begin your search for Alexandria real estate.
People who need less space and want less maintenance often choose a condo over a detached Alexandria home. This is mainly because condos offer folks a chance to own their home without having to fuss with outdoor chores. Yard and pool maintenance are left to the condo association.
