Old Town Village is a combined single family and condominium community located in the southwest quadrant of Old Town Alexandria. The community was developed on the site of the Norfolk and Southern Railroad yard built prior to the Civil War. The railroad yard featured the first railroad roundhouse in Alexandria, a large circular building used by railroads for servicing locomotives. To commemorate the heritage of the area, the developers of the community built a replica “Roundhouse” which today serves as the clubhouse and recreational center. Just outside the entrance to “The Roundhouse” is a street clock typical of one that might be found in the 19th Century. These unique features along with attractive, landscaped courtyards and brick sidewalks give Old Town Village a distinctive character reflecting the history of Alexandria.

Old Town Village was established in 1998 and is made up of 155 townhomes adjacent to 125 condominiums. The homes are designed in Victorian, Georgian, and Colonial architecture similar to the style of many historic residences found throughout Old Town. Residents enjoy the use of numerous amenities including a clubhouse and recreational center, outdoor swimming pool and indoor jacuzzi, locker rooms, fitness center, clubhouse patio, bike path and a tot lot. The community is located to the southwest of the intersection of South Henry St. and Duke Street and within walking distance are the following convenient locations: 

  • King Street (the main street of Old Town Alexandria), 2 blocks

  • The Torpedo Factory and the Potomac River waterfront, 20 minute walk

  • King Street Metro Station (Yellow and Blue Lines), 10 minute walk

  • Alexandria National Cemetery, 1 block

  • Whole Foods, 5 minute walk

  • The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the newly developed West End business district, 10 minutes

Old Town Village is conveniently located just a short distance from the Capital Beltway and the pedestrian and biker friendly, 10 lane Woodrow Wilson Bridge completed in 2008. Commuting into Arlington and DC has also improved with the expanded lanes on the new US 1 (Monroe St.) bridge connecting Old Town to Del Ray and access has been improved from Slaters Lane over to the George Washington Parkway. Old Town Village is also just a short 10 minute drive to Reagan National Airport. 

Westbound Beltway traffic (towards Tysons Corner) is currently impacted by the construction work at the Telegraph Rd. interchange. This project will expand the Beltway from 6 to 10 lanes and connect with the Thru and Local Lanes of the new Wilson Bridge. The project is expected to be completed by mid 2013 and once complete should ease traffic congestion and improve traffic flow in Old Town during rush hour. 

Commuters heading to Tysons Corner on I-495 West/North will also face some road construction delays after passing the Springfield Interchange as the Beltway is being widened to add HOT (High Occupancy or Toll) lanes scheduled to be completed by late 2012. Vehicles with 3 or more passengers, buses, motorcycles and emergency vehicles will be able to travel in the HOT lanes without having to pay the toll.
