About

Parkfairfax

Parkfairfax, located between Shirlington and Del Ray, is a garden-style and mid-century Alexandria neighborhood with wooded courtyards and brick walk-ups. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Parkfairfax Shopping Center at Preston Avenue and Martha Custis Drive, where a low-slung strip of local storefronts meets a steady stream of walkers and cyclists. Signature community pillars include Signature Theatre in nearby Shirlington, the Arlington Cinema & Drafthouse, and the Four Mile Run Farmers & Artisans Market. Curving lanes, mature trees, and pocket greens shape a quiet, pedestrian-first rhythm. The Mount Vernon Trail and Four Mile Run Trail frame daily routes toward the Potomac and Old Town. Nearby Shirlington’s dining blocks add a polished, after-work counterpoint.
