        <Name>Townhouses in Alexandria Virginia:  What's on the market &amp; where?</Name>
        <Summary>Popular townhouse communities in Alexandria Virginia and current prices</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;p&gt;In Northern Virginia, townhomes are a very popular choice among homebuyers.&amp;nbsp; In many cases a townhouse may serve as an intermediate step between a condo and a single family home.&amp;nbsp; 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 &lt;a href="http://www.funside.com/"&gt;Old Town Alexandria&lt;/a&gt; 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!)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img hspace="0" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/176/431324607_c2f368e90b_m.jpg" align="baseline" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here's a roundup of the current market for townhouses in Alexandria VA including the number available, price breakdown, locations, and days on the market.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;TOTAL:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; 210 townhouses on the market in Alexandria, ranging in price from $299,000 to $3.3 million.&amp;nbsp; Average price $743K (though this is heavily skewed by the upper range -- the median price is under $600K)&amp;nbsp; The average townhome in Alexandria has been on the market for 82 days.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I'd like to break these down by price range.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Alexandria townhouses under $600K:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; 110 townhouses or more than half of those on the market in Alexandria fall into this price range with the average townhouse in this category being listed at a price of $499,987 and on the market for approximately 71 days.&amp;nbsp; Townhouses in this price range can be found in the following Alexandria communities:&amp;nbsp; Beauregard Heights, Beverley Hills, &lt;a href="item/162051"&gt;Cameron Station&lt;/a&gt;, Hume Springs, Lynhaven, Nethergate, Old Town, Old Town Greens, Quantrell Mews, Stonegate, &lt;a href="http://summersgrove.org/"&gt;Summers Grove&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://www.cameronparkehoa.org/"&gt;Townes at Cameron Parke&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Alexandria townhouses between $600K and $1 million:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; 70 townhouses fall into this price category with an average listing price of $775,326 and on the market for 81 days.&amp;nbsp; These townhomes can be found in the following communities (among others):&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="item/162051"&gt;Cameron Station&lt;/a&gt;, Old Town, Old Town Greens, Potomac Green, Quaker Ridge, Stonegate, and Yates Garden.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Alexandria townhouses over $1 million:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; 30 townhouses in Alexandria are available at this high-end price range with the average townhouse listed for $1,565,600 and on the market for a significantly longer average of 120 days.&amp;nbsp; These luxury townhouses are almost all concentrated in Old Town Alexandria and especially in some of the elite communities along the Potomac River, including: Bulfinch Square, Fords Landing, Gibbon Row, Harborside, and Rivergate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One thing to keep in mind when viewing these average listing prices: We're currently in the midst of a strong buyer's market in Alexandria and throughout Northern Virginia.&amp;nbsp; The average Alexandria townhouse sale in February was completed at a final sales price of 2.34% below asking price, representing an average $17,000 discount.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.searchhomesbyemail.com/"&gt;Start searching for your next Alexandria townhouse today.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</Description>
