Del Ray, located between Potomac Yard and Old Town Alexandria, is a walkable and residential Alexandria neighborhood with a Main Street strip and a porch-lined streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Mount Vernon Avenue near East Howell Avenue, where coffee counters, indie boutiques, and patio tables set a steady sidewalk rhythm. Community pillars include Del Ray Pizzeria, Stomping Ground, and The Birchmere. Early-20th-century bungalows and brick colonials line a tight grid, with pocket parks and schoolyards breaking up the blocks. Four Mile Run and the Potomac Yard Trail add green edges for runs and bike commutes. Seasonal street festivals and farmers-market energy keep the calendar busy without changing the small-scale feel.
