I love Alexandria! There aren’t many cities these days in which I feel 100% safe and comfortable, but here I definitely did. I loved the lighting, clean streets, and many shops and restaurants in the city and there are so many small businesses and well-known establishments in the city. The views from the riverfront are so relaxing and there is never any crime in the area during the day or at night, and its proximity to D.C. and Baltimore makes it even better. I haven’t been to a single bad restaurant in the area.
I love living here! This is such a great place to live and explore. There are lots of events, some free and some with fees. The neighborhoods are also incredibly comforting, and the people are very welcoming as well. Many people in Alexandria support others in ways others don’t such as the LGBTQ community, and support their religion. I am a current resident, and I’ve been living here for a very long time, and I could assure you that you wouldn’t regret coming here to visit or live!
