Penthouse Residence in a Historic Del Ray Building

7 Russell Road #D sits on the top floor of a 1937 building in Del Ray, one of Alexandria’s most walkable and well-regarded neighborhoods. The residence offers 700 square feet of single-level living, one bedroom, and one full bath in a building with strong HOA coverage and included paved parking.

The HOA structure here is notably comprehensive. Water, sewer, trash, lawn maintenance, snow removal, exterior building maintenance, management, insurance, and reserve fund contributions are all covered — reducing the variable costs of ownership and simplifying day-to-day living considerably.

Del Ray’s Mount Vernon Avenue corridor is close at hand, offering independent restaurants, coffee shops, and neighborhood retail within easy walking distance. The neighborhood’s grid of tree-lined residential streets and its proximity to the Braddock Road Metro station make this location practical for commuters and those who prefer to move through the city without a car.

For buyers seeking a top-floor position, included parking, and a low-maintenance ownership structure in an established Alexandria neighborhood, this residence warrants a close look.

Top-Floor Position
This penthouse-level residence occupies the top floor of a 1937 building at 7 Russell Road in Del Ray. The 700-square-foot layout includes one bedroom and one full bath, with paved parking assigned to the unit. The building’s age lends architectural character that newer construction in the area rarely replicates.
Comprehensive HOA Coverage
The HOA coverage at this property is among the more complete packages available at this price point in Alexandria. Water, sewer, trash, lawn care, snow removal, exterior maintenance, management, insurance, and reserve funds are all included. Buyers can underwrite their carrying costs with a high degree of predictability.
Del Ray Location
Del Ray is a walkable, grid-planned neighborhood anchored by Mount Vernon Avenue. Independent dining, coffee, and retail are accessible on foot, and the Braddock Road Metro station provides direct access to the broader DC metro system. The neighborhood’s established residential character and proximity to Old Town Alexandria add further context to the location.
Ownership Simplicity
For buyers weighing low-maintenance condo ownership against the costs and responsibilities of a larger property, this residence offers a clear value proposition. The combination of top-floor placement, included parking, and a fully loaded HOA at $395,000 is a competitive position within the Del Ray and broader Alexandria market.

Property Location

About 7 Russell Rd #D

The residence at 7 Russell Road #D occupies the penthouse level of a 1937 building in Alexandria’s Del Ray neighborhood. At 700 square feet, the one-bedroom, one-bath layout is efficiently proportioned for single-level living. Paved parking is deeded with the unit, a meaningful convenience in a neighborhood where street parking can be competitive. The building’s pre-war construction gives it a solidity and character that distinguish it from more recent condominium development in the area.

Del Ray is one of Alexandria’s most cohesive residential neighborhoods, organized around a walkable street grid anchored by Mount Vernon Avenue. The avenue supports a concentration of independent restaurants, coffee shops, and neighborhood-serving retail that give the area a distinct local identity. The neighborhood sits between Old Town Alexandria to the south and the Potomac Yard development corridor to the north, placing it at a practical midpoint within the city. Braddock Road Metro station provides Yellow and Blue Line access for commuters heading into DC or toward the airport.

Day-to-day living at this residence is structured around walkability and low-maintenance ownership. The HOA’s comprehensive coverage — water, sewer, trash, lawn care, snow removal, exterior upkeep, management, insurance, and reserve contributions — removes a significant layer of ownership friction. Mount Vernon Avenue’s dining and retail options are accessible on foot, and the proximity to Metro reduces dependence on a car for commuting. For those who value a well-managed building, an established neighborhood, and a top-floor position, the combination here is coherent and practical.
