Welcome to Del Ray

Del Ray, in Alexandria (Fairfax County not City of Alexandria), has leafy streets, front porches, and a commercial main street that gives it a small-town feel. Del Ray is very walkable, and mostly composed of detached single-family homes with relatively small yards (compared to further out suburbs). It features attractive architectural home styles, including Cape Cods, colonials, bungalows, and some Victorians. Some older homes in disrepair are razed and larger new construction homes with updated interiors are erected in their place.​
 

Restaurants, Retail, and Entertainment

Mount Vernon Ave, the commercial main street, is busy with boutiques, restaurants, ​retail staples, and, of course, pedestrians. ​Nearly all are independently-owner, helping maintain the small town feel and lending an authenticity other areas simply don't have. The independent restaurant scene features wine bars, barbecue joints, sushi bars, Indian bistros, burger spots, delis, cafes, dog friendly bar/restaurants, steakhouses and intimate live music venues. Residents and visitors alike enjoy fun events like Art On The Avenue, an art and music festival that draws thousands. Farmers markets are a mainstay, the Halloween parade is a big deal, every month (during warm weather at least) there's music and fun activities.
