16 E Monroe Ave #A, Alexandria VA 22301

Old Town Character. Practical Scale. Established Address.

The home at 16 E Monroe Avenue occupies a semi-detached position on one of Alexandria’s established residential streets, just inside the 22301 zip code that defines the core of Old Town and its immediate surrounds. Built in 1940, the structure carries the proportional restraint and material solidity characteristic of mid-century Alexandria construction.

Three bedrooms and two full baths are arranged across 1,377 square feet — a footprint that reads as efficient without feeling compressed. Paved off-street parking adds a practical advantage that is genuinely scarce in this part of the city.

King Street Metro is accessible on foot, connecting the address to the Blue and Yellow lines and placing downtown DC, Reagan National Airport, and the broader Northern Virginia corridor within straightforward reach. The shops, restaurants, and waterfront of Old Town King Street are similarly close.

For buyers evaluating the Old Town and Del Ray submarket, this address represents a well-positioned entry into one of Alexandria’s most enduring residential corridors.

The Property
Built in 1940 and configured as a semi-detached home, 16 E Monroe Avenue sits within the 22301 zip code that anchors Old Town Alexandria. The structure reflects the measured proportions and durable construction typical of its era, offering a distinct alternative to newer infill development in the area.
Interior Scale
The home provides three bedrooms and two full baths within 1,377 square feet. The layout offers room to work, rest, and entertain without the overhead of a larger footprint. Paved off-street parking is included — a meaningful practical asset in a neighborhood where on-street availability is competitive.

King Street Metro is within walking distance, placing the Blue and Yellow lines at the doorstep. Reagan National Airport, the Pentagon, and downtown DC are all reachable without a car. The Old Town waterfront, King Street corridor, and the Del Ray neighborhood’s independent retail and dining scene are all nearby.
Market Context
The 22301 zip code has maintained consistent demand among buyers drawn to Alexandria’s walkable, transit-connected neighborhoods. Semi-detached homes of this era and scale trade with regularity in the submarket, and comparable sales provide a clear basis for evaluating this home’s positioning at $815,000.
