OLD TOWN ALEXANDRIA LUXURY Detached and Attached HOMES

Old Town Alexandria is a perennially favorite destination place for visitors and an equally luring real estate marketplace for luxury home buyers. As the historic seat of the independent city of Alexandria, Virginia, Old Town is an obvious place for old and classic architectural styles. But luxury can be defined both in the older and more traditional ways, as well as upscale modernity whether inside or outside.

Luxury homes in Old Town Alexandria come in various shapes and sizes. There is certainly an emphasis on historic structures as well as newer construction that hews closely to traditional architectural styles. You’ll find lovely old brick single-family homes in the heart of Old Town with modern changes that can be obvious from the street, such as oversized windows. But more often, upscale lifestyle amenities are to be found inside antique houses, with opened-up floorplans and high-end kitchens. A home isn’t always a detached house in old urban neighborhoods. Condominiums and townhouses are also integral to the local housing market, including those adapted from warehouses, factories, store fronts, and office buildings. It’s all part of the fabric in Old Town with its whimsical charm and cosmopolitan lifestyle.

More About Old Town Alexandria, VA Luxury Homes

Take a walk through Old Town Alexandria and you’ll soon start to unwind common threads. Sidewalk cafes, upscale retail boutiques, art galleries, and waterfront boardwalks are all part of the attraction. The King Street Trolley offers free rides, and the gentle keening of gulls in the distance reminds one that it is a waterfront location. There is often a comforting commonality to home styles as well, with lots of brick and clapboard, attached rowhouses and their narrow standalone compatriots, and plenty of Federal, Colonial, and Victorian-style architecture.

Of course, not everything is an homage to the past, and there is much more to Old Town than what meets the eye on a walking or trolley tour. You’ll find nods to contemporary style and convenience in the luxury home market, although often with a modicum of moderation from the street. Those in charge of planning and permits strive to avoid some of the overdevelopment and commercialization that has marred the landscape of certain other old towns and cities in this country. Indeed, there is a wonderful sense of balance that keeps Old Town true to its real nature.
