Selling a home in Alexandria, VA
Alexandria is one of the most desirable—and most misunderstood—markets in Northern Virginia. Just across the Potomac from Washington, it pairs historic charm with an unbeatable commute: Old Town’s waterfront and brick sidewalks, Del Ray’s walkable main street, Metro on the Blue and Yellow lines, and quick access to the Pentagon, Amazon’s National Landing, and Reagan National Airport. Demand stays strong across everything from Old Town rowhouses to single-family homes and townhomes farther out. The key for a seller is knowing exactly which Alexandria your home is in—because that changes your buyers, your schools, and your taxes.
City of Alexandria vs. Fairfax County “Alexandria”
This trips up a lot of sellers. There are really two Alexandrias. The City of Alexandria is an independent city with its own government, taxes, and Alexandria City Public Schools—it includes Old Town, Del Ray, Rosemont, Seminary Valley, and Beverley Hills. But many homes with an “Alexandria, VA” mailing address actually sit in Fairfax County—communities like Kingstowne, Riverside Estates, and the Mount Vernon and Franconia areas—with Fairfax County taxes and Fairfax County Public Schools. Same city name, very different jurisdiction, school assignments, and buyer expectations. I make sure a listing is marketed accurately on that point, because the right buyers are searching for the right Alexandria.
Where I’ve sold in Alexandria: In the City of Alexandria, I’ve sold in Rosemont and Seminary Valley. On the Fairfax County side, I’ve sold in Kingstowne and Riverside Estates—all backed by real, recent sales.
A recent City of Alexandria sale: a Rosemont townhouse, sold fast and over list
In early 2025, I helped a couple sell their townhouse in the historic Rosemont neighborhood—one of the City’s most walkable areas, near Old Town and the Braddock Road Metro. With the right preparation and pricing, the home sold quickly and for more than the asking price.
“My wife and I are extremely happy with the service provided by our realtor, David Mount… He exceeded expectations in helping us sell our townhouse located in the historic Rosemont neighborhood in Alexandria, VA quickly at more than the listing price. We highly recommend David!”
— Thomas W., Rosemont (City of Alexandria) seller (5-star review, 2025)
A recent Fairfax County sale: relocating sellers in Kingstowne, multiple offers over list
On the Fairfax County side of Alexandria, I helped relocating sellers in Kingstowne—a popular master-planned community near Springfield and Franconia—move on to their next chapter. We generated multiple offers and closed above the list price, and the sellers left a 5-star review. It’s a good example of how strong preparation and marketing create competition, even on a relocation timeline.
Alexandria neighborhoods I know well
Beyond those sales, I’ve sold in Riverside Estates (a sought-after single-family neighborhood on the Mount Vernon side of Fairfax County) and Seminary Valley (an established City of Alexandria neighborhood on the West End). From Old Town and Del Ray to Kingstowne and Mount Vernon, I price and market each home to the buyers and the jurisdiction that actually apply to it.
Local knowledge that moves Alexandria homes
I’ve spent my life in Northern Virginia and have guided over 200 families through home sales totaling more than $130 million over more than twelve years. Alexandria rewards an agent who knows the difference between the City and the County, how Old Town and Del Ray buyers differ from Kingstowne and Mount Vernon buyers, and how to price and market to each. I bring that judgment to every Alexandria listing.
