West End

The West End of Alexandria is perfect for those seeking suburban calm with urban access. Spanning neighborhoods like Seminary Hill and Cameron Station, this area offers a range of housing—from spacious single-family homes on quiet cul-de-sacs to townhouse communities tucked off main roads. Lush tree canopies and well-maintained sidewalks make evening walks and weekend bike rides a delight.

West End’s appeal lies in its variety of amenities. The Landmark Mall redevelopment brings new retail and dining options, while neighborhood centers boast grocery stores, fitness studios, and family-run eateries. Excellent public and private schools dot the landscape, making it a magnet for growing families. For nature lovers, nearby parks like Lincolnia and Holmes Run Trail offer miles of running and cycling paths away from city crowds.

Commuters appreciate the proximity to I-395 and the Pentagon, as well as plenty of commuter bus routes into D.C. Meanwhile, those who prefer Metro can hop on at nearby Van Dorn Street or King Street stations. While nightlife here is quieter than in Old Town or Carlyle, cozy pubs and neighborhood bars provide the perfect setting for catching up with friends without the hustle and bustle. In the West End, you get space, serenity, and easy access to the entire D.C. region.
