jogging through Old Town
More than 4,000 historic buildings grace the streets of Old Town, the oldest part of the city of Alexandria and also George Washington’s hometown. Often a destination for tourists, Old Town is a comfortable, upscale location within Alexandria. The city’s numerous shops, restaurants and public houses offer quality entertainment, just as the city’s Gadsby’s Tavern did for Thomas Jefferson when he attended many, many years ago. Today’s residents and visitors can enjoy an early evening of fine dining or a late night on the town — or both!
Tourists and residents going to Washington can easily get inside the city using the King Street Metro and Trolley, which serves the Old Town neighborhood. But why go into Washington when Old Town has so much to offer in a small yet busy environment with opportunities abound? Ice cream houses, coffee shops, boutiques and big-name fashion shops cover the brick-lined sidewalks of Alexandria’s Old Town. It’s an atmosphere perfect for families and singles, whether just visiting or staying for a while.
If you’re looking for a condo near King Street and the water, you may want to check out the Torpedo Factory or Prince Street Club.
