About Alexandria's River Towers

River Towers a condominium development surrounded by 26 acres of parkland. River Towers is a commuter's dream, near everything, but away from it all.

Relax at one of the many park benches where you can watch the birds sing and the squirrels frolic. Enjoy a lonely walk along the surrounding paths. Jog the Potomac Bike Trail or just sit back and relax at the private club room. Dock at the nearby boat slips or rent a boat from the marina. (Residents have access to boat parking and kayak racks.)

Cities are wealth-generators. That is to say, good jobs and opportunities are found in cities like Alexandria, Fairfax and Arlington. Though we all enjoy wealth opportunities, many of us don't enjoy concrete and asphalt. There is something to be said for the greenery of the rural living. Even in New York City, folks enjoy Central Park. If you're one of those folks who need to live within easy commute of Washington D.C., Alexandria or Arlington, but you also need your little piece of nature, then you may owe yourself a visit to River Towers.

River Towers is found at the end of a looping horseshoe drive tucked between Belle View and a national wildlife preserve. Like all the homes of New Alexandria, River Towers has easy access to the Potomac and Belle Haven Marina, as well as the shops of Belle View Shopping Center.

My office is located at River Towers, because River Towers provides to the city but is an oasis of greenery. In the summer the shade of mature oaks provides pleasant vistas into the forest beyond. I personally have witnessed deer, foxes, raccoons and various waterfowl and birds without getting up from my desk. To the rear of the 6641 building is a water drain that was long an eyesore to some at River Towers.

The landscaping committee set themselves to the task of transforming an eyesore into an asset. They have surrounded the drain with flowering shrubs and decorative grasses to provide a screen and focal point for the eye when seated at the nearby bench.

The paths at River Towers are punctuated with benches and places of beauty. The flowers have already started blooming at this new landscaping feature. I expect that as the planting mature, the storm drain will be difficult to spot, but the flowers will still provide a treat for the eyes.
