6405 Prospect Terrace, Alexandria, VA 22310

A Mid-Century Single-Family Home in Established Alexandria

The home at 6405 Prospect Terrace occupies a residential lot in the 22310 corridor of Alexandria, Virginia — a submarket defined by mid-century construction, tree-lined streets, and proximity to the broader Northern Virginia employment and transit network. Built in 1954, the property reflects the enduring character of postwar Alexandria neighborhoods.

Three bedrooms and one and a half baths configure a layout that has served generations of Alexandria residents. The detached single-family format — increasingly rare at this price point in the region — offers a degree of privacy and outdoor potential that attached housing cannot replicate.

At $190,000, the home represents one of the more accessible entry points into fee-simple homeownership in Fairfax County-adjacent Alexandria. The Wardman Residential team at Compass represented the buyer in this transaction.

The Property
Built in 1954, the home at 6405 Prospect Terrace is a detached single-family residence in Alexandria’s 22310 zip code. The property sits within an established residential corridor that developed primarily in the postwar decades and retains the scale and character of that era.
The Layout
The home offers three bedrooms and one and a half baths across a traditional layout. The detached configuration provides separation from neighboring structures and the potential for outdoor use that attached or multi-unit housing does not offer at comparable price points.
The Price Point
At $190,000, this home entered the market at a notably accessible price for a detached single-family property in Northern Virginia. Fee-simple ownership at this level is uncommon in the broader Alexandria and Fairfax County submarket, making the opportunity worth careful consideration.
The Location
The 22310 zip code places residents within reach of the Franconia-Springfield and Van Dorn Street Metro stations on the Blue Line, as well as the broader network of Northern Virginia roadways including I-95, I-495, and Route 1. Daily conveniences, parks, and community resources are accessible throughout the surrounding area.

Property Location

About 6405 Prospect Ter

The home at 6405 Prospect Terrace is a detached single-family residence constructed in 1954, situated on a residential street in Alexandria’s 22310 zip code. The three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath layout reflects the practical floor plan conventions of mid-century Northern Virginia construction. As a detached home, the property offers a private footprint distinct from the townhouse and condominium inventory that dominates much of the regional market at comparable price levels.

The 22310 zip code encompasses a collection of established Alexandria neighborhoods situated south of the city’s Old Town core and east of the Franconia Road corridor. The area developed largely in the 1950s and 1960s and is characterized by detached single-family homes on modest lots, neighborhood parks, and community-oriented street patterns. Proximity to major Northern Virginia thoroughfares makes the location practical for commuters oriented toward the Pentagon, Crystal City, or the broader I-95 and I-495 corridors.

Daily life in this part of Alexandria is grounded in the convenience of a well-connected Northern Virginia address. Local grocery options, neighborhood retail, and community parks are accessible throughout the surrounding area. The Blue Line Metro stations at Van Dorn Street and Franconia-Springfield provide rail access to downtown Washington and Reagan National Airport without requiring a car.

A Wardman team member and the Wardman Residential team at Compass represented the buyer in this transaction, drawing on the team’s experience across the Alexandria and Northern Virginia single-family submarket. We have worked with buyers navigating the 22310 corridor and the broader Fairfax County-adjacent Alexandria market, helping clients identify value in a competitive and often fast-moving environment.
