Van Dorn Townhouse With HOA-Managed Convenience

The home at 1183 N Van Dorn Street sits within an established Alexandria community where the HOA handles the operational details — common area maintenance, snow removal, trash, insurance, and reserve fund contributions — so the focus remains on the living experience itself.

Three bedrooms and two and a half baths are distributed across 1,350 square feet, a floor plan that balances everyday function with room to settle in. The half bath on the main level and two full baths above provide practical separation for daily routines.

Unassigned parking is included, and the Van Dorn Street Metro station is accessible from the neighborhood, connecting residents to the Blue and Yellow lines and the broader regional transit network. The 22304 zip code also positions the home within reach of the commercial corridors along Duke Street and Van Dorn Street.

Built in 1963, the community carries the character of mid-century Alexandria — established streetscapes, mature landscaping, and a neighborhood fabric that has remained stable over decades. At a listed price of $519,000, the home represents a defined entry point into fee-simple townhouse ownership in this part of Northern Virginia.

HOA Structure
The HOA covers common area maintenance, insurance, management, reserve funds, snow removal, and trash. For a buyer seeking reduced day-to-day ownership overhead, that coverage consolidates several recurring obligations into a single monthly structure.

Floor Plan
At 1,350 square feet, the home distributes three bedrooms and two and a half baths across a layout that reflects the practical townhouse typology common to this Alexandria submarket. The half bath on the main level and two full baths above provide functional separation without unnecessary complexity.
Transit Access
The Van Dorn Street Metro station, served by the Blue and Yellow lines, is accessible from this address. That connection links the home to Pentagon City, Crystal City, King Street Old Town, and downtown DC without requiring a vehicle for every trip. The surrounding commercial corridors along Van Dorn and Duke Street add further daily convenience.
Community Context
The 1963 construction date places this home within one of Alexandria’s more established residential communities. The neighborhood’s mid-century character is reflected in its mature tree canopy and consistent block structure. At $519,000, the home occupies a well-defined position in the Northern Virginia townhouse market.
