Construction of new homes in Alexandria has been primarily town homes due to the cost of buildable land. Or, revitalization of older communities along the Potomac River provided land for luxury town homes. Numerous warehouses, factories have been converted into luxury condominium homes within walking distance to the shopping areas in Old Town with fabulous boutiques, restaurants and shops. A large military establishment, Cameron Station has been converted to residential real estate and is now one of the most popular addresses in Alexandria.
