Airview Terrace is wonderfully walkable
Homebuyers will find an abundance of ranch homes built in the 1960s and ‘70s. The spacious quarter-acre yards are kept neatly trimmed, but landscaping is minimal beyond the mature pine and oak trees found throughout the neighborhood. Many of the streets are lined with sidewalks, making it easy for residents to go for a jog or walk the dog. “It’s a quiet, established neighborhood,” McDaniel says. “A lot of people who live there have lived there for more than a decade.” Prices range from $125,000 to $200,000. “It’s one of the more affordable neighborhoods in Alexandria,” McDaniel says. “There are investors flipping some of the homes. A few of them have been remodeled.”
