Why Live in Alexandria

Alexandria's historic waterfront along the Potomac River features scenic parks, working artist studios at the Torpedo Factory Art Center, and the last remaining riverine lighthouse in Virginia at Jones Point Park. The Mount Vernon Trail provides miles of waterfront paths for hiking and biking with views of Washington D.C. Cultural attractions include the Alexandria Black History Museum, the preserved 18th-century Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum, and the iconic George Washington Masonic National Memorial. The dining scene ranges from historic establishments like Gadsby's Tavern, where George Washington once dined, to modern favorites such as Vermilion and waterfront dining at Cafe 44.
