Alexandria, Virginia brings vibrant energy to a historic stage, attracting visitors, and 55+ residents alike to experience a lifestyle where the ghosts of yesteryear, and modern amenities coexist. Founded in 1749, this charming waterfront destination on the Potomac River, is just minutes from D.C, and where the beautiful active adult community The Crest of Alexandria will debut in 2018. Named one of the 10 most walkable cities by AAA, and boasting a European ambience with its cobblestone streets, and vintage flair, The Crest defines a 55+ lifestyle surrounded by lush natural beauty, with an urban appeal.
Three premier builders were selected to create a community set apart from the congestion of the city, yet within close distance to services, and entertainment. This peaceful community is located five miles from the Capital Beltway, and will bring active adults closer to nature with tree lined walking trails, gardens, ponds, and outdoor entertaining areas. With home sales expected to start this spring, The Crest will feature single family homes, condominiums, and town-homes that offer the convenience of an elevator system. Single family floor plans will offer a first floor owner suite, two car garages, and private patios. For 55+ boomers, and empty nesters looking to downsize, town-home, and condominiums will offer garage parking, a patio or deck, and option for private storage spaces.
Whatever your lifestyle, a love of the outdoors is The Crest’s common thread. For hosting gatherings, or relaxing with a partner, the 5,000 square foot clubhouse will feature a terrace with a fire pit, an outdoor kitchen complete with a pizza oven, herb garden, and dining area for an evening of good company, and culinary delights. Healthy living, is happy living, and with a yoga lawn, and indoor studio, fitness stations, and trail system, the path to wellness has never been so convenient. The Crest will also be a pet friendly community, with access to a designated dog park.
Once the home town of George Washington, and a vision of nostalgia with boats bobbing peacefully in the harbor, Old Town Alexandria goes from day to night with five star dining, unique shops, art galleries, and gets fresh with weekend farmers markets. 55+ residents have access to the metro station that connects Alexandria to D.C, and the Ronald Reagan National Airport. Active adults can sit back and relax on a boat tour or water taxi while taking in historic architecture, ending the day strolling up, and down King Street, Old Town’s cultural hub that’s always on the move. Nature, history, and modern conveniences are intrinsically woven together to offer a one of a kind experience for boomers, and retirees.
