Port Royal Condo Amenities and Unit Types
These studio, one, and two bedroom condos are highly coveted simply because of the location. Every unit has either an enclosed terrace or balcony. Pets are more than welcome at the Port Royal condos. Residents have access to an on-site laundry room, an outdoor kitchen/barbecue area, the roof deck, and the garage.
Although there is ample parking on site, people often find it hard to find parking spots in the surrounding neighborhoods. This is not a problem for residents, as a short walk brings them to a grocery store or restaurant, a coffee shop or a hardware store. In fact, just about everything one needs to survive is located within a mile of the condominium.

There are more than 900 acres of parks and other public places in the city of Alexandria. Port Royal condo residents who are hikers, bikers, and joggers love the Mount Vernon Trail; families love to picnic along the river; young people flock to volleyball courts near the river; and nature lovers can immerse themselves in the wonderful variety of trees, flowers, and other plants native to this area of the country.

For those who prefer not to walk around town, the DASH bus has convenient stops near the Port Royal building. Those who love to travel on the water can contact National Harbor Water Taxi for more information about their service.
A short bus or car ride quickly brings residents of the Port Royal condominiums to the Alexandria Farmers Market, the Del Ray Farmers Market, or the Bon Vivant Cafe & Farm Market. Local, and seasonal, fruits and vegetables can be found at all farmers markets. Other sellers have gourmet coffees and cheeses for sale. One never knows what can be found at a farmers market; this is one big reason why people visit the markets often.
Other Attractions for Alexandria Residents
One of the nice things about living in Alexandria, Virginia is the proximity to Washington D.C. When residents of the Port Royal condos have visitors, it is inevitable that these visitors are going to want to visit the capital. Those who work in the city know the best times to visit, and the best times to get there with little traffic hassles. Once in the city there is so much to see. It is best to park the car in one of the many lots available, and walk as much as possible. There are plenty of small cafes and restaurants to stop for a breather, before continuing on your sightseeing trip.
More adventurous folks want to do their walking in some of the nearby national parks. While there must be miles of walkable paths throughout Alexandria, residents often want to get out of the city and surround themselves with nature. Fort Hunt Park is one of the most well known parks in the area. Entering this park is like taking a step back in history. Once an old army fort, the batteries that defended the Potomac River during the Spanish American War still remain standing today. Visitors are free to explore around the outside of these batteries, but the buildings are closed to the public because of safety issues.
Families love visiting the park because there is a playground for their children to explore. Picnic areas fill rapidly on nice days, and paths can get crowded with people out for a little exercise in the sun. Nature lovers flock to the park because natural habitats have been created to draw native birds and animals to the area. Fort Hunt Park is perfect: it is close to home, and offers something for everyone in the family.
