Breath taking views! I have 3 floor to ceiling walls of windows in my home overlooking DC (views of the Capital & Washington Monument, Arlington and Alexandria. The Alexander is a rare find as it combines city views with suburb living.

The Alexander has been great so far. I never hear the neighbors and proximity to different areas of Alexandria and DC is close. The parking garage is a bit tight but manageable however the parking pass situation is tedious, but a necessary evil.

It's a great location. You get a lot for your money. I enjoy coming home every day. Ashley at the leasing office it simply the best!
