N Royal Street Townhouse in the Core of Old Town

The home at 1072 N Royal Street occupies one of Alexandria’s most sought-after corridors, placing residents within easy reach of the waterfront, King Street’s commercial spine, and the broader Old Town grid. At 1,137 square feet across two bedrooms and two full baths, the layout is efficient without sacrifice.

Ownership here is structured for ease. The HOA covers exterior building maintenance, insurance, lawn care, sewer, water, snow removal, and trash — a meaningful reduction in the day-to-day overhead that typically accompanies townhouse ownership. The garage space with EV charging capability conveys with the home.

Old Town’s 22314 zip code consistently draws buyers who value walkability, historic character, and proximity to both DC and Reagan National Airport. N Royal Street sits squarely within that zone, offering the full benefit of the neighborhood without compromise on parking or maintenance burden.

The Address
The home sits on N Royal Street in Old Town Alexandria, a neighborhood defined by its Federal-era streetscape, brick sidewalks, and walkable access to the Potomac waterfront. The 22314 zip code places residents at the center of one of Northern Virginia’s most established urban villages, with King Street and the Metro line both close at hand.
HOA Structure
The HOA package here is notably comprehensive. Exterior building maintenance, insurance, lawn care, sewer, water, snow removal, and trash are all included, reducing the ownership burden that often accompanies attached homes. Reserve funds and management are also covered, providing structural financial stability for the community.
Parking and EV
The garage space conveys with the home and is equipped with access to electric vehicle charging stations — a practical amenity that remains relatively uncommon in Old Town’s historic building stock. Assigned parking further eliminates the street-parking uncertainty that affects many properties in this dense neighborhood.
Old Town Context
Old Town Alexandria has maintained its position as one of the region’s most durable residential markets, anchored by its historic designation, waterfront access, and direct transit connections to DC. A two-bedroom townhouse with garage parking and a full-coverage HOA at this price point represents a well-positioned entry into that market.

Property Location

About 1072 N Royal St

The townhouse at 1072 N Royal Street was built in 1977 and offers 1,137 square feet across two bedrooms and two full baths. The home is part of an HOA-governed community that manages exterior maintenance, insurance, lawn care, sewer, water, snow removal, and trash on behalf of owners. A private garage space with access to electric vehicle charging stations conveys with the purchase, along with an assigned parking space — a meaningful advantage in Old Town’s constrained parking environment.

Old Town Alexandria is one of the most historically intact urban neighborhoods in the Washington metro area, characterized by its 18th- and 19th-century architecture, brick-paved streets, and a walkable commercial corridor along King Street. N Royal Street runs parallel to the waterfront grid, positioning this home within easy reach of the Potomac River parks, the King Street retail and dining district, and the broader network of Old Town’s public spaces. The neighborhood’s compact scale and pedestrian infrastructure make daily errands, dining, and recreation accessible without a car.

Living on N Royal Street means access to Old Town’s full range of daily amenities on foot — local cafes, independent restaurants, neighborhood grocers, and the waterfront park system are all within the walkable core. The King Street Metro station provides direct service into DC, and Reagan National Airport is a short drive or ride-share away, making this location practical for frequent travelers. The HOA’s coverage of exterior maintenance and grounds care allows owners to focus on the neighborhood experience rather than property upkeep.
