Parker-Gray offers historic charm and a convenient D.C. commute
When picturing a historic neighborhood just outside Washington, D.C., most people imagine a place like Parker-Gray. Mature trees shade the worn brick sidewalks and hide the facades of centuries-old row houses, providing that classic Alexandria feel. “People come here for the Alexandria experience,” says Beth Cichowski, a Realtor with five years of experience in the neighborhood, “you get the historic charm, convenient commute and lower prices than Old Town.” The area can make you feel like you’re back in time, but you’re only a 30-minute Metro ride from downtown D.C.
High-rise apartment complexes are found at Braddock Station in Parker-Gray.
Parker-Gray is a dog-friendly community.

Homes range from 1830s charmers to modern builds
This section of Alexandria is named after the Parker-Gray School, which opened in 1920. The historic row houses reflect that age; many were built in the 1920s, and some as far back as the 1830s. These are highly desired, which is reflected in the prices. A 2,100-square-foot brick row house built in the 1920s, with a front porch and minimal garden space out front, will typically cost about $1.2 million. An 1830s row house with a wood exterior and classic colonial touches like wooden shutters and a sidewalk-level front door can cost $1.5 million. Something newer in a similar price range, like a 2,000-square-foot townhouse built in the 2000s, usually goes for about $1 million. Smaller condos built around the same time can cost roughly $650,000. Most homes have parking spaces out back, but the grid-patterned streets make the neighborhood easily walkable. “The location makes it an easy commute,” says Cichowski, “The King Street-Old Town and Braddock Metro Stations are less than a mile walk from any home.”
Brick row homes are a common sighting throughout Parker-Gray.
