Niche User: I think I would want to return to this area, I grew up here, Alexandria is friendly as well as diverse. Old Town is a great place to go out and shop, get food and to walk around. The location is beautiful and shops are not very far away from each other by car. It is a small town with a lot within such as shops, homes, local businesses, and schools.

Niche User: Moving from a conservative small town in Ohio to a metropoltian area was intense, however, it was one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. I feel that I am blessed to experience new opportunities, equality, and people, I other would not get the chance to encounter. I have the conveinence of a metro right out my door. I can walk to work! I wouldn't change my living situation for anything. I have never been happier!

Niche User: I love it here, the only down side is after hours it becomes a little more dangerous to walk around. Also there seems to be a large theft issue in this area.

Seminary Hill

• Neighborhood in Alexandria, VA
• 50

Niche User: Everything is close together enough to be able to walk anywhere you want but cars are still basically needed. Great public schools (trouble kids hate them because of the great deal of security, but if you stay out of trouble you'll love it) from elementary to high school. Visiting the waterfront and walking around Old Town is the best thing to do on a hot summer day. If there's something you're craving, you'll find it in Old Town.

Niche User: The people in this area are mostly friendly. Life is fast-pace and everyone is constantly on the move. The area itself isn't exactly an ideal place to raise a family, but it is amazing for the up and coming young adult professional.

Potomac West

• Neighborhood in Alexandria, VA

Current Resident: Del Ray is such a wonderful neighborhood filled with equally wonderful people. There is a thriving business community with restaurants and shops, and many community events throughout the year. It is like living in a small town, the streets are filled with people walking their dogs and baby strollers, kids on bikes, a very friendly place. Halloween is a blast! There are many lovely, old houses although quite a few have been torn down in recent years to build larger homes.

North Ridge/Rosemont

• Neighborhood in Alexandria, VA
• 3

Current Resident: Picture perfect community within walking distance to everything Alexandria has to offer in Old Town and DelRay (shops, restaurants, grocery stores, yoga, biking trails, etc...) but yet tucked away from the hustle and bustle. This part of Alexandria does have very expensive homes so you will definitely get better deals and bigger homes in Fairfax and Loudoun county but the quality of life makes every penny worth it. You will not find strip-malls or chain restaurants here and everyone who lives is NRidge\Rosement sighs to say thank goodness!

Alexandria West

• Neighborhood in Alexandria, VA
• 23

Former Resident: I lived in the area for 18 yrs and as a working professional, I loved living in West Alexandria. The area is affordable, safe, and bordering Arlington and it's nightlife. The commute to DC is a maximum of 45 minutes tops during rush hour and 10 minutes during non-rush hour. Very important to those of us who commuted to the city on a daily basis. The area is walking distance (30 minute walk) to the Shirlington Village and Four Mile Run Park. Most of my neighbors where health conscious single working professionals and married couples with young children.
