Mid-Century Alexandria Home on Garden Drive

23 Garden Dr is a three-bedroom, 1.5-bath home in Alexandria’s 22304 corridor, built in 1959 and priced at $305,000. The home reflects the durable construction and modest scale that define mid-century residential development in this part of Northern Virginia.

The 22304 zip code sits in the interior of Alexandria, positioned between the historic Old Town waterfront and the I-395 corridor, with access to multiple transit options and everyday retail along Duke Street and Van Dorn Street. The neighborhood is walkable to local parks and connected to the broader Northern Virginia grid.

At this price point, 23 Garden Dr offers meaningful value relative to the Alexandria market, where comparable single-family inventory has tightened considerably in recent years. The home’s 1959 vintage means buyers should approach with a clear-eyed renovation plan and appropriate due diligence.
