Twelfth-Floor Living in the Heart of Carlyle

The Carlyle district of Alexandria occupies a distinct position in the Northern Virginia landscape — a planned mixed-use neighborhood that balances urban density with the historic character of Old Town just blocks away. Carlyle Towers, completed in 2008, is one of the district’s defining residential addresses, offering full-service condominium living with a level of HOA coverage that simplifies ownership considerably.

Residence 1203 sits on the twelfth floor, a position that separates it from street-level noise and delivers the kind of perspective that lower floors cannot replicate. At 1,171 square feet, the two-bedroom, two-bath floor plan provides meaningful separation between living and sleeping spaces — a configuration that functions well for a range of ownership scenarios.

The included garage parking space is a practical asset in a district where surface parking is limited and street parking is competitive. HOA coverage extends to common area maintenance, exterior building upkeep, building insurance, management, parking fees, reserve funds, and trash — a comprehensive package that reduces the variable costs of ownership.

King Street Metro is accessible on foot, connecting residents directly to the Blue and Yellow lines and, by extension, to Reagan National Airport, Pentagon City, and downtown DC. The restaurants, boutiques, and waterfront of Old Town King Street are equally close, making this a residence that earns its location premium.

The Carlyle District
The Carlyle neighborhood represents one of Alexandria’s most thoughtfully planned mixed-use districts, positioned at the intersection of Old Town’s historic fabric and the modern Northern Virginia employment corridor. Carlyle Towers anchors the residential side of that equation with full-service condominium living built to a 2008 standard.
Residence 1203
The twelfth-floor position of this residence is a meaningful differentiator within the building. Elevated above the surrounding streetscape, the unit gains both perspective and a degree of acoustic separation that ground and mid-level floors do not offer. The 1,171-square-foot layout accommodates two bedrooms and two full baths with clear spatial logic.
Ownership Practicalities
HOA coverage at Carlyle Towers is notably comprehensive, encompassing exterior building maintenance, insurance, common area upkeep, management, parking fees, reserve funds, and trash. The included garage space adds a layer of convenience that is genuinely valuable in this part of Alexandria, where parking is a consistent consideration for residents and visitors alike.
Transit and Walkability
King Street Metro — served by both the Blue and Yellow lines — is a short walk from the building, providing direct access to Reagan National Airport, the Pentagon, and the District. Old Town’s dining and retail corridor along King Street is equally accessible, reinforcing the location’s day-to-day utility.
