Columbia Firehouse
109 S. Saint Asaph St, Alexandria VA. Built in 1883, now a restaurant
The building which now houses Columbia Firehouse Restaurant was built in 1883. The bell tower next door is long gone and building has been repurposed but it still stands. Columbia Firehouse stands as a historic, beautifully preserved piece of Old Town’s heritage. From the street, the building has changed little while the interior has given way to sumptuous dining rooms on four levels, an atrium, an outdoor patio and an exquisitely detailed barroom.

Charming Old Town Village

In the southwest quadrant of Alexandria, VA lies a beautiful section of real estate known as Old Town Village.  Many people who settle in Alexandria come here for a number of reasons and one of the being it the charming character of each neighborhood.  Consequently, Old Town Village is no exception and it has lots to offer.  When researching this area of the city, I found that residents had the ability to catch the metro, enjoy plentiful dining options, and great shopping. The neighborhood has a collection of condominiums, townhouses, and single family’s that all meet the needs of an eclectic buyer pool.  If you are a busy professional looking to get into the market but don’t want the hassle of taking care of a large home, then you should consider looking at Canal Place, Port Royal, and Potowmack Crossing.  However, for small and large families looking to settle into Old Town Village there are several communities that may be the right fit.  Currently there are a host of townhomes available like the one on 1220 Roundhouse Ln, Alexandria.
