Alexandria, VA, is a city on the Potomac River just south of Washington, D.C. It’s known for its Old Town with brick sidewalks and well-preserved 18th- and 19th-century buildings. King Street is lined with boutiques and specialty shops. Founding fathers dined at Gadsby’s Tavern, now a museum with period objects and photographs, and the renowned Carlyle House Historic Park features a beautifully restored Georgian mansion with an exquisite garden. Alexandria is affluent and filled with young urban professionals.
