Too Expensive for what you get
Rent increased from $919 at move-in May 2013 to $1,158 starting March 2015 for 340SF apt ($239 increase; utilities not included). I'm moving! Too many leaking pipes in bldg. One cleaning person for a 9-story bldg. Only love the location & free Wi-Fi.

About Old Town
If you want to be away from the fast and loud city life, Old Town is the place to be. Filled with cobblestone streets, colonial homes, churches and museums, Old Town is a quiet and charming neighborhood on the banks of the Potomac River in Alexandria. A walk on the King Street displays Old Town's po...

Old Town Reviews

I love the neighborhood. Although Old Town is in the suburbs, it feels like like a mini city, and almost everywhere I want to go is within walking distance. There are great restaurants and bars a few blocks, we're close to the river, there are multiple parks nearby. There is a Whole Foods a block away from my building, and it takes me less than 10 minutes to walk to the King Street Metro station. I also have a dog, and there are so many dog parks and dog-friendly businesses in the area.
Pros:
- Safe, nearby grocery store, pet friendly, pool, close to restaurants, diverse in income types and styles of homes, etc.
Cons: Section 8 housing, a lot of people for a tiny pool.

Lots of new development populated by yuppies and hip new businesses/restaurants, mixed in with pockets of section-8 housing and shady groups of people walking the streets.
Absolutely love it. So many friendly people and fun restaurants, coffee shops, stores, etc. Feels like you are apart of a community and very easy to meet people.
Public transportation is excellent. Really don't need a car. Holmes Run Park great for running and bicycling. Restaurants, shopping and malls within 5 miles.
Close to DC and other Virginia cities... good public transport... not as young and fratty as Arlington but still plenty of social opportunities... Love it
This is an awesome area. It is lots of fun to explore and a nice change from being in the city for school all the time.
Old Town is great! So many restaurants, bars, shopping, parks, and hiking. Easy to walk to all the shops on King Street, and super close (walkable) to two metro stops, Braddock Road and King Street. Commute to Foggy Bottom via metro is only about 30 minutes, and it is a straight trip on the blue line from Braddock Road to Foggy Bottom-GWU.
