One of the oldest established cities in the United States, Alexandria spreads west from the Potomac River within eyesight of Maryland and Washington, DC. Cobblestone streets, water taxis and well-regarded new restaurants set the tone in Old Town, while more laid-back neighborhoods like Del Ray offer choices in nightlife, shopping and dining. Reagan National Airport is just minutes away, as are several major commuter arteries. Discover the amenity-filled and pet-friendly Van Metre Apartment communities of Alexandria below.
