Old Town Alexandria at Night

Old Town Alexandria is a quaint town---a neighborhood really---at the heart of the City of Alexandria. Old Town is found near the Potomac Waterfront. As one would expect, Old Town is in the oldest part of Alexandria and it is the center of historical interest in the area.

From local personages, like George Washington and Robert E. Lee, to historical places like Gadsby's Tavern, Old Town is well-known for his colonial American heritage. Overlooking Alexandria from Shooter's Hill, is the George Washington Masonic Memorial.

In addition to historical sites, Old Town is a walkable warren of specialty shops, bakeries, ice creameries, restaurants and nightlife. It is a melting pot of colonial ambiance and international cuisines. Alexandria has hundreds of restaurants and nightlife to suit any tastes. The restaurants here range from first rate to budget pleasers. The cuisines range from colonial to international from modern to traditional.

Carlyle District in Alexandria VA

entrance to CarlyleThe Carlyle District is home to more than 2 million square feet of office space (existing or under construction) for the USPTO alone.

Bringing 7,000 employees and 700 visitors a day to the site, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office is single-handedly driving enough demand to fuel the creation of an office submarket in Alexandria. The 76.5-acre master-planned Carlyle development is designated a Coordinated Design/Development District (CDD), meaning design and development standards are already in place for the allocated 7 million square feet of office, hotel, residential, and retail space, allowing for faster approval of final plans.

Carlyle is within walking distance of the King Street Metro station and the Amtrak/Virginia Railway Express station, and is one of Northern Virginia's most convenient and accessible business locations.
