If you are looking for that perfect blend of walkability, easy access to downtown yet with quiet, tree-lined streets, look no further than the Alexandria neighborhood of Beverley Hills, located just off of 395. This charming, early 20th-century neighborhood, offers classic architecture, friendly neighbors, and walkability. What more could you ask for? Well, here are a few more reasons to love where you live, Beverley Hills edition!

Access to Major Highways

One of Beverley Hill’s most touted features is its easy access to 395. Beverley Hills is just a quick short trip on Gunston or Glebe Road to 395, much closer than Rosemont or Del Ray. This makes it easy to head north into DC or south to other parts of Alexandria.

Beautiful Hills and Landscape

The hallmark of the community is its mature trees, mainly oaks, and dogwoods, which are abundant in Beverley Hills thanks to its builder and early residents who recognized the importance of keeping its natural landscape. Few homes in their original footprint are available as most homes have been expanded or converted the small garages into living spaces.

Convenient to Dining and Entertainment

Those in Beverley Hills can stroll to nearby Shirlington for dinner, enjoy happy hour at the many restaurants, or see a show at Signature Theater. The shops and restaurants of Del Ray, the Fairlington Shopping Center, and the Bradlee Centre are also an easy walk or a very short drive away. Old Town, the Pentagon, and Crystal City are all just five minutes away by car.
