Dyes Oakcrest, located between Seminary Road and Beauregard Street, is a residential and commuter-friendly Alexandria neighborhood with garden-style apartments and mature tree canopy. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Beauregard Street & Seminary Road junction, where mid-rise buildings meet a steady rhythm of local storefronts and everyday errands. Nearby, the St. James anchors the area with a large-scale fitness campus and event programming. Green space and trails at Dora Kelley Nature Park add a wooded counterpoint to the main roads. Housing reads as mid-century brick, townhome clusters, and newer infill along wider arterials. Transit lines along Seminary Road and Beauregard Street connect the neighborhood to the rest of the city.
