I want to say Belle Haven is the best kept secret in Alexandria, but it’s no secret at all. Founded in 1924, just south of Old Town, Belle Haven is one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the D.C. metro area and certainly in Alexandria, Virginia.
Discover early 20th century homes in a variety of architectural styles, against backdrops of mature trees on expansive lawns, stunning landscaping, all nestled on a hill overlooking the Potomac River. It’s no surprise that generations of the same families choose to raise their children and dogs here in an enclave that has an undeniable element of Mayberry. Belle Haven bursts with children playing outdoors, on sport courts, basketball courts, trampolines, swimming pools and playgrounds.
Historic Fort Willard Park is the heartbeat of the community, where we host Santa, the Easter Bunny, a Fourth of July picnic, and Halloween and Saint Patrick’s Day parades accompanied by the local fire station. The civic association and women’s club keep social and civic calendars full with particular attention to local charities and philanthropy. There is no wonder why neighbors become lifelong friends. Our annual holiday party is legendary, with no attention paid to the end time. And every birth and death is announced at our communal American flag.
Golf, tennis and a sailing marina are within walking distance, as is the popular George Washington Parkway trail for a run, power walk or bike ride, whether you want to head south to Mount Vernon or north to National Airport and D.C. or across the river to National Harbor. Whichever way you turn, buzzy restaurants and shopping abound, as do a wide choice of excellent public, private and parochial schools. Whether you need to get to the Hill, K Street Corridor or Tysons Corner, the Capital Beltway, three airports, trains, Metro or a water taxi, the value of this location is undeniable. Let me introduce you to Belle Haven, where you won’t just find the ideal house. You’ll find your perfect home.

Interest in luxury real estate is picking up, according to a survey for United Marketing, which found that the percentage of people with incomes greater than $306,000 a year who plan to buy homes has risen from 3 percent in 2008 to 11 percent this year.
Laurie Moore-Moore, CEO of The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, said that while she doesn’t believe this market is booming, she is seeing sellers who are more realistic about prices and that is persuading affluent buyers to consider purchases.
"Luxury home buyers have been buying this summer," said Moore-Moore. "After waiting in the wings, many affluent buyers spent the summer shopping for value and snapping up trophy properties."
