Alexandria VA is redoing a 5 block mid century housing project with the new mixed income Old Town Commons.245 market rate units are available for purchase with 134 new units owned and operated by the Alexandria Housing Authority.
Mid century, 2 level red brick apartments are switching to multicolored hardiplank siding townhomes.
EYA builders have encountered success with its Capitol Quarter makeover of a housing project near DC's Navy Yard metro station and Nationals Baseball park.
Capitol Quarter's units are in the $500s-700s K.
Old Town Commons' townhomes start in the $800s K for the market rate units and compare favorably to the new Potomac Yard townhomes along Jeff Davis Highway.
Garages and parking are an issue in touristy Old Town Alexandria. Alley garages and on street parking add the car option as Old Town Commons is adjacent to the Braddock Road metro station.
EYA's units compare to the new 4 level Boulevard townhouses at Brambleton-Ashburn VA priced near the $400K level.
Leesburg VA is looking for something similar to Old Town Commons to fill its newly rezoned Crescent District which neighbors the Old Town area.
