Cameron Station, VA

Drive down Duke Street in the West End of Alexandria and you can't miss it.  If you're heading east towards Old Town Alexandria, it's on your right.  Heading west towards Landmark Mall and Route 395, it's on your left.

IT is Cameron Station, one of the premier communities of homes in Alexandria, perhaps Northern Virginia.  With a location that's close to everything, a great mix of townhouses, condos, and single-family homes, and a real neighborhood feel, Cameron Station remains a very desirable community and recent sales statistics show this to be true. 

Here's a driving tour video of Cameron Station that I made several years ago:

The neighborhood has changed just a bit since that video was shot 3 years ago, but much remains the same.  Ben Brenman Park, adjacent to the community is basically Cameron Station's backyard, and a great place for walking your dogs, pushing a stroller, or just enjoying a Summer's eve.  Some more townhouses have been built close to Samuel Tucker Elementary School on the far south end of the community.
