Boulevard Acres

One of Alexandria’s most desirable neighborhoods for waterfront.

Welcome to Boulevard Acres

Luxury homes and riverfront living along the Potomac
 
Boulevard Acres is one of Alexandria’s most desirable neighborhoods for waterfront and estate-scale living. Set along the eastern side of the Mount Vernon Trail and encompassing streets such as E Boulevard Drive, Southdown Road, Northdown Road, and Arcturus Lane, this area offers a rare combination of privacy, scale, and direct proximity to the Potomac River, all just minutes from Old Town Alexandria.
 
This collection of homes feels removed from the pace of surrounding areas, offering a quieter, more spacious setting while remaining incredibly well-connected. With direct access to the Mount Vernon Trail and sweeping natural surroundings, Boulevard Acres offers a lifestyle defined by space, scenery, and privacy.
 

Boulevard Acres Real Estate Market

Boulevard Acres is known for its estate-like properties, custom-built residences, and a selection of true waterfront homes. Architectural styles vary, with expansive colonials, contemporary builds, and thoughtfully designed custom homes that take full advantage of the surrounding landscape.
 
Many properties sit on substantial lots, offering a level of privacy and scale that is increasingly difficult to find in Alexandria. Waterfront and water-view homes are especially sought after, with some properties featuring direct Potomac River frontage and unobstructed views.
 
Opportunities in Boulevard Acres are limited and highly desirable, particularly for buyers seeking land, privacy, and proximity to the river. Contact The Patterson Group to explore current and off-market opportunities in the area.
