Mount Vernon

Known for its expansive properties, and architectural variety.

Welcome to Mount Vernon

Historic roots and scenic living along the Potomac River
 
Stretching along the Potomac River just south of Old Town Alexandria, Mount Vernon is one of the most historically significant and naturally beautiful areas in Northern Virginia. Known for its expansive properties, architectural variety, and connection to the nation’s early history, Mount Vernon offers a lifestyle that feels both grounded and elevated.
 
The area takes its name from George Washington's Mount Vernon, the historic estate of the first U.S. president. Today, Mount Vernon blends that sense of legacy with everyday livability, offering residents space, privacy, and access to some of the region’s most scenic and amenity-rich surroundings. Several neighborhoods within Mount Vernon also feature waterfront and water-view homes, adding to the area’s long-standing appeal.
 

Mount Vernon Real Estate Market

Mount Vernon offers a wide range of architectural styles, including classic colonials, ramblers, Cape Cods, split-level homes, and custom-built residences. Many homes sit on larger parcels, with a mix of original mid-century construction and thoughtfully expanded or renovated properties.
 
The area is also home to several waterfront and water-oriented neighborhoods, where properties take full advantage of the Potomac River with sweeping views and direct access. Buyers are drawn to Mount Vernon for its combination of space, architectural diversity, and long-term value. Contact The Patterson Group to explore current opportunities.
