Neighborhood Description: Built on the site of a former Army base, retired from service in 1995, Cameron Station is a fresh and emerging community that aims to foster a small-town feel in the heart of bustling Northern Virginia. Brick sidewalks and stately homes with architectural elements from the 18th and 19th centuries capture a bit of Old Town’s charm, but with all the modern amenities. The City of Alexandria has established a library and an elementary school within the development, making it a friendly place for families. With easy access to parks and bike trails, Cameron Station achieves small-town livability, in-town convenience, and is a commuter's paradise. Look closely at the other neighborhood pages in DC and you'll see very similar architectural styles!
Number of Homes: Phases VI and VII of Cameron Station are still under construction, and you’ll already find luxurious townhomes, condominiums, and federal-styled single-family homes with modern amenities and top quality construction. Residents of Cameron Station value the serious attention to architectural design that distinguishes this development from many others on the Virginia side of the Potomac.
