Cameron Station blends close community feel with vibrant city living

Old-fashioned town center designs come head-to-head with modern living in Cameron Station, a booming piece of West End Alexandria with a caring community and endless entertainment. “It’s a true community,” says Troy Patterson, local real estate agent for TTR Sotheby’s International Realty. “Even when I was there just as a realtor, people stopped to talk to me and were sad to see my client go. The owner who did sell plans to come back because of how much she loved living there. Units don’t come up often because when people get there, they stay.”

Colonial Revival homes, townhouses and condos line leafy streets

With one foot in the past and another firmly in the present, Colonial Revival designs and brick sidewalks bring the look of the 18th and 19th centuries to the modern world. Towering town houses and condominiums line narrow streets with brick facades and stone walls, filling the spaces in between with leafy trees and bright pocket parks. Some single-family homes stand in the neighborhood for added privacy, and top-floor units sport spectacular views of the parks and old-timey streets below. Prices in Cameron Station range from $500,000 for a two-bedroom condo to upwards of $1 million for a park-side property with a view or an elegant single-family home.

Residents get active at Ben Brenman Park and indoor facilities

While downwind from all the offerings of Alexandria and the nation’s capital, but residents also find fun just by walking through their doors in Cameron Station. Ben Brenman Park, the area’s premiere green space, has hiking along the glass-like lake and through the area’s dense woods. Sportrock Climbing Center offers more than 18,000 square feet of climbing walls, a full gym and a yoga studio. Kids enjoy indoor recreation at Get Air Trampoline Park and Scramble, an indoor playground.

Shopping and dining are a short walk from the community

Cameron Station is the centerpiece of a thriving business district, putting residents in the middle of easy-to-reach shopping spots and aromas emerging from cafes and local restaurants. Specialty grocers like Mediterranean Bakery and LA Mart are just a short walk away, and the Shoppes of Foxchase sit right around the corner with mainstays Harris Teeter and ALDI. On Sundays, Ben Brenman Park hosts the West End Farmers’ Market. Dining options include the Cameron Café, a quaint coffeehouse, and Indochen, an informal spot with inventive savory creations. City Kitchen is another favorite, bringing gastropub vibes to town with its industrial décor, rotating craft beers and a menu inspired by American cities.

Alexandria City Public Schools serves local kids

Students in the area enroll in the Alexandria City Public Schools system. The neighborhood’s youngest attend Samuel W. Tucker Elementary right in the heart of the area. Niche gives it a C-plus. The next steps require a short commute to Francis Hammond Middle School three miles away, and Niche gives it a C. Alexandria City High School also sits about three miles away, has a B-rating from Niche and offers numerous AP classes and sports programs, including a football team that helped inspire the film “Remember the Titans.”

DASH buses, I-395 and the Metro make D.C. trips simple

Getting around is easy, as Interstate 395 runs along the community’s southeast side and DASH buses stop along Beauregard Street, a major thoroughfare. Patterson says one of the biggest draws to the community is its proximity to D.C., which is around 10 miles away. “It's easy for professionals to get to the city. Shuttles take you to and from the metro, so you can get to work pretty quickly no matter where you need to go,” he says.
