A vibrant city in its own right, Alexandria's proximity to Washington, D.C. (it's just 9 miles from central Alexandria to central DC) means that a good portion of its 150,000 residents commute to work in the nation's capital, but this doesn't mean that Alexandria is any less desirable. Quite the opposite, in fact. The city saw its first European settlers back in 1695, and contains a lot of stunning historic buildings, amazing fine dining, and boutique shopping. Anyone who enjoys spending time in the great outdoors will be pleased to know that there's approximately 950 acres of public park land spread out across the city. You'll also find some fun and interesting events taking place in Alexandria throughout the year, including the King Street Art Festival, the Bluegrass Brunch at FireFlies, and the annual Del Ray Halloween Parade.
