North Ridge/Rosemont - Alexandria, VA Area Guide

A half-hour’s drive south of Washington, D.C. and only two miles from the Pentagon, the Alexandria neighborhood of North Ridge Rosemont presents a friendly community surrounded by gorgeous Virginia greenery. Rental options include apartment buildings and sleek condos. Nearby Old Town hosts an abundance of shopping options. Head a few blocks eastward to meet your neighbors at the local farmers market, or stop in for Tex-Mex at Los Tio or yummy ribs at Pork Barrel BBQ.
