Alexandria / DC Metro

The Community - Mt. Vernon / Alexandria - DC Metro

When a young George Washington surveyed the land that would later become his home town, he could not have imagined the fascinating future for which he was laying the foundation. Washington, of course, went on to become the beloved Father of our Country. His tiny hometown became Alexandria, Virginia, today a picturesque community with a rich and varied history located along the Potomac River just minutes from our nation's Capitol - and one of America's favorite historic destinations.

From its early role as an 18th century seaport and home to America's patriots, to its transition as a railroad center in the 19th century and its manufacturing days in the early 1900s, Alexandria has always been a center of commerce and innovation. Today it is home to high technology firms, national associations, retail and hospitality businesses, and the performing arts.

But, it is the City's historic ambiance and aura of historic significance combined with its urban sophistication that set Alexandria apart.
