Built in 1940, the semi-detached structure carries the architectural character of its era while sitting within easy reach of contemporary amenities along Mount Vernon Avenue.
Three bedrooms and two full baths are distributed across 1,377 square feet, a footprint that balances livability with the efficient scale that defines Del Ray’s housing stock. Private parking — a genuine asset in this neighborhood — is included with the home.

Property Location
About 16 E Monroe Ave
The home at 16 E Monroe Avenue is a semi-detached residence built in 1940, a construction type that defines much of Del Ray’s residential fabric. The structure provides 1,377 square feet across three bedrooms and two full baths, a layout that reflects the considered proportions common to mid-century Alexandria row-adjacent homes. Private parking accompanies the home, a feature that carries real practical value on a neighborhood street where off-street options are limited.
Del Ray is one of Alexandria’s most walkable close-in neighborhoods, organized around a residential grid that feeds into the independent commercial corridor of Mount Vernon Avenue. The neighborhood’s housing stock is predominantly early-to-mid-twentieth-century semi-detached and detached homes, giving the streetscape a consistency and scale that distinguishes it from newer Northern Virginia developments. East Monroe Avenue sits within this established fabric, a quiet residential block connected to the broader neighborhood on foot.
Daily life in Del Ray centers on Mount Vernon Avenue, where local cafes, independent restaurants, and neighborhood grocery options are within walking distance of East Monroe Avenue. The King Street Metro station provides rail access to the Yellow and Blue lines, connecting the neighborhood to downtown DC, the Pentagon, and Reagan National Airport without a car. For residents who do drive, the home’s private parking eliminates one of the more persistent friction points of urban Alexandria living.
