Alexandria, VA Apartments for Rent

Alexandria lies along the western bank of the Potomac River, just eight miles south of Washington, D.C., and features its historic Old Town district, founded in 1749 with charming cobblestone streets and 18th-century architecture. Those searching for apartments for rent in Alexandria will discover a city that perfectly balances rich American history with modern convenience, offering easy access to both the nation's capital and a thriving local community with over 200 independent boutiques and restaurants.

Renting in Alexandria appeals to budget-conscious renters thanks to excellent transportation options, including the Metro's Blue and Yellow Lines at King Street station, which provide direct access to Washington, D.C. for work and entertainment. Popular neighborhoods include the artistic Del Ray area along Mount Vernon Avenue, featuring eclectic shops and cafes, and the modern Carlyle district near the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Residents enjoy diverse apartment communities ranging from historic conversions in Old Town to contemporary high-rises, all within reach of waterfront parks, farmers' markets, and major highways like I-395 and I-495 for easy commuting throughout the greater Washington metropolitan area.

Why Alexandria?

  • Proximity to Washington, DC
  • Old Town’s mix of authentic historic experiences with hip sophistication
  • Unique shops and boutiques, pubs and trendy restaurants
  • The waterfront’s views of river cruise boats
  • One of AAA’s “Ten Most Walkable Cities”
  • The unique Torpedo Factory, now a waterfront art studio complex
