Elevator townhomes with nature-inspired grounds, koi pond, fire pit, and walking trails — one of the most distinctive 55+ communities in the Alexandria corridor of Fairfax County.
Every townhome includes an interior elevator — multi-level living without stairs, designed for long-term accessibility and aging in place.
Koi pond, manicured landscaping, and walking trails create a distinctly peaceful community character compared to typical suburban 55+ developments.
A gathering fire pit and outdoor social spaces encourage resident interaction in a way that clubhouse-only communities often miss.
Fairfax County's Alexandria corridor gives residents access to Old Town, the Potomac waterfront, Pentagon City, and Reagan National Airport within 20 minutes.
The Telegraph Road corridor in southern Fairfax County gives Crest of Alexandria residents a fundamentally different location profile than the Gainesville, Ashburn, or Sterling communities. Old Town Alexandria, the Potomac waterfront, Pentagon City shopping, and Reagan National Airport are all within a 15–25 minute drive. For buyers with ties to DC or northern Virginia's inner suburbs — or those who fly frequently — this location is significantly more convenient than NoVA's western communities.
The trade-off is that buyers pay Fairfax County prices in the Alexandria corridor without the acreage, golf, or resort-scale amenities that western NoVA communities offer at comparable price points. Crest of Alexandria buyers are choosing urban-adjacent convenience and distinctive design over outdoor scale.
Crest of Alexandria is a sold-out community — all new construction is complete. The resale market is the only path to ownership. Inventory turns slowly given the small community size, which means buyers need to be patient and responsive when a unit becomes available. Our team tracks resale activity across all Fairfax County 55+ communities and can alert you when Crest of Alexandria inventory hits the market.
