Alexandria Reviews
Rating 4.39 out of 5 405 reviews
Alexandria is overall really safe. There are lots of restaurants to try of many different cultures. The population is very diverse in some areas. There are plenty of parks and accessibility to walking and running paths.
Great neighborhood and very diverse! Great restaurants as well. There are some road and bridge repairs at the moment that make traffic a bit heavier at times, but once completed should get back to normal. A great private school to mention is Queen of Apostles Catholic School, which really reflects their motto “Faith, excellence & joy”.
