Parc East Condos For Sale, Alexandria, VA

Who says condos for sale in Alexandria, Virginia can’t be affordable? Located in the city’s northwestern corner is the Parc East Condominium, a 15-floor high rise with 283 residences. This luxury full service building offers lots of amenities and very competitive prices—units have recently been listing in the low six figures.

Located at 1225 Martha Curtis Drive in the 22302 zip code area, Parc East was delivered in 1980 and designed in the International style that was just starting to fade from vogue. The complex is just off Glebe Road and a few blocks from the Arlington border, tucked among mature trees and landscaping. This neighborhood is often considered Northridge, but many would also consider it to be the northern part of Beverley Hills.

Along with the one and two-bedroom condominiums, there are also seven ground floor commercial units at Parc East. Floor plans for residences range in size from around 600 to 1178 square feet, with oversized windows, private balconies and either hardwood or carpet. Many but not all of the kitchens have been updated since the building’s original construction. There are also walk-in closets and many of the units have charming nooks that can be used for reading or work spaces.

And then there’s the common amenities which include a massive lobby with a 24/7 staffed front desk and concierge service. Residents also enjoy a swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts, a fitness center with sauna, and a picnic area with grills. Another terrific feature is a footbridge leading to the Village at Shirlington, right across the border and referred to as Arlington’s Arts & Entertainment District. Here you’ll find upscale shops, restaurants, live theatre and a Harris Teeter.

The Parc East Condominium is also very close to the I-385, a definite plus for commuters. Jennie Dean Park and Four Mile Run are also close by, as are the fun shops and indie restaurants along Mount Vernon Avenue in next-door Arlandria to the east. Plus, don’t forget about Old Town Alexandria with all its fabulous attractions!
