Known for its rich colonial history, cobblestone streets, brick-lined sidewalks, and original 18th century homes, Alexandria — George Washington's hometown — lets you revisit venues frequented by America's founding fathers, such as Christ Church and Gadsby's Tavern Museum. The Landing and its environs are alive with activity. Wouldn’t you love to be part of it?
The Landing is situated just above Old Town, where King Street offers a walkable mile of centuries-old architecture among more than 200 independently owned restaurants and boutiques. You’ll also find a wealth of hidden-in-plain-sight historic treasures — including the Market Square Museums.
The Potomac Yard district is a growing, energetic neighborhood along the waterfront. Local and state officials have announced plans to build a new professional sports arena in Potomac Yard, which will also bring new restaurants, public spaces, a performing arts venue, retail shops, hotels and more.
Even today, The Landing is just a few blocks from a Giant brand grocer, CVS pharmacy, Starbucks, and Target, with a Founding Farmers restaurant under construction across the street. The Potomac Yard/ Virginia Tech Metro station is less than half a mile away. One of the major hospital providers in Northern Virginia — INova —will soon open a Micro Hospital just down the street.
