Alexandria’s housing stock is remarkably diverse — from 18th-century row houses in Old Town to mid-century colonials in Del Ray and brand-new condos in Potomac Yard.

What Alexandria Homeowners Need to Know
Lead Pipes in Old Town & Historic Neighbourhoods
Alexandria’s oldest neighbourhoods — particularly Old Town, Rosemont, and parts of Del Ray — have housing stock dating back to the 1800s and early 1900s. Many of these homes were originally plumbed with lead supply lines, which pose a health risk and should be replaced. If your Alexandria home was built before 1950 and you haven’t had a plumbing inspection, a pipe assessment is strongly recommended. Virginia has lead service line replacement programmes available — ask your plumber about current assistance options.
Old Town’s Clay Sewer Lines
Many properties in Old Town Alexandria and adjacent historic blocks still have original clay tile sewer lines running to the city main. These lines are prone to root intrusion from the mature trees that line Alexandria’s historic streets, and to cracking and settling over time. A sewer scope inspection is a smart investment for any Old Town home purchase, and a useful diagnostic if you’re experiencing recurring drain slowdowns.
