Map 42

The plentiful apartments in Alexandria make it popular with 20-somethings who like urban living but can’t hack the high rents in Clarendon or DC. There’s also a high concentration of plaid skirts, what with all the Catholic schools around. Oh, but remember those Titans—T.C. Williams is in this area as well.
