Carlyle District & Old Town For Sale
The 22314 zip code is an intriguing mixture of what is newest in Northern Virginia and what is oldest in Northern Virginia.
An Introduction to the Carlyle Distict
The Carlyle District is home to more than 2 million square feet of office space (existing or under construction) for the USPTO alone.
Bringing 7,000 employees and 700 visitors a day to the site, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office is single-handedly driving enough demand to fuel the creation of an office submarket in Alexandria. The 76.5-acre master-planned Carlyle development is designated a Coordinated Design/Development District (CDD), meaning design and development standards are already in place for the allocated 7 million square feet of office, hotel, residential, and retail space, allowing for faster approval of final plans.
Carlyle is within walking distance of the King Street Metro station and the Amtrak/Virginia Railway Express station, and is one of Northern Virginia's most convenient and accessible business locations.
An Introduction to Old Town
Old Town Alexandria is an exclusive and special place in Northern Virginia. If you haven't guessed; in case you're from out of the area; in case you've never visited Old Town, I'll tell you what's so great about Old Town Alexandria. It's not just the history. It's not just the colonial architecture. It's not just the easy commute to downtown DC, the Pentagon and Arlington. It's the culture. It's the way of life. It's the location. It's all of this and more.
Old Town Alexandria is a quaint town---a neighborhood really---at the heart of the City of Alexandria . Old Town is found near the Potomac Waterfront. As one would expect, Old Town is in the oldest part of Alexandria and it is the center of historical interest in the area.
From local personages, like George Washington and Robert E. Lee, to historical places like Gadsby's Tavern, Old Town is well-known for his colonial American heritage. Overlooking Alexandria from Shooter's Hill, is the George Washington Masonic Memorial.
In addition to historical sites, Old Town is a walkable warren of specialty shops, bakeries, ice creameries, restaurants and nightlife. It is a melting pot of colonial ambiance and international cuisines. Alexandria has hundreds of restaurants and nightlife to suit any tastes. The restaurants here range from first rate to budget pleasers. The cuisines range from colonial to international from modern to traditional.
The cultural choices of Alexandria provide acess to museums, exhibits and galleries with rotating stock to ensure residents never run out of things to see and do. Old Town is well-connected to the Beltway, George Washington Parkway, I-395, and Rt. 1. Old Town has multiple metro stops, a Virginia Railway Express station and an AMTRAK station. Reagan National Airport is nearby.
Add to this the proximity to the National Mall, National Harbor and a plain and never-ordinary stroll along the Potomac and you'll understand why Alexandria remains a highly-sought after location.
