In Northern Virginia, townhomes are a very popular choice among homebuyers. In many cases a townhouse may serve as an intermediate step between a condo and a single family home. Townhouse styles throughout Alexandria span the gamut from the small two level models with little more space than small condominiums to massive luxury townhouses on the Potomac River in Old Town Alexandria that are often larger than most detached homes, have 4 or 5 levels, and sometimes even a dock for your boat (and a price tag to match!)
