"Lots of open space, friendly neighbors and LOTS of dogs (and kids)! People look out for one another and their dogs. The sidewalks are generally good but it does get hot on the tarmac. These are nits. Great hood!"

"Sense of community and a quiet neighborhood just steps away from all the great things Alexandria has to offer. It is eclectic, diverse and full of people who want to see the neighborhood thrive. "
- Trulia User
- Resident

"Lots of open grass areas within walking distance and all well lit and frequented by many locals makes it a safe and convenient neighborhood for dog owners. Most properties including townhomes in this area also include fenced-in backyards which provide relief during the day or while away; most townhome communities also have common grassy areas for homeowners to use."

"Neighbors are fantastic. Never imagined I would live next to people so handy and thoughtful. Feel welcomed. "

"I have lived on Ivanhoe Street for about 20 years. It is a quite, dead-end street of about 30 houses. The homes were built in the early 1960s. Most have brick exteriors, and are well-constructed. Neighbors are friendly, and there now is some "generational shift" in ownership (i.e., from long-time owners who are 60-90 to younger families and couples)."

"Moved to the neighborhood about a year ago. Wish there was a nearby dog park but besides that, quiet and friendly people. "
- Meridith M.

"Good central location and lots of amenities. People are friendly enough but don’t expect to know most of your neighbors."
- Mic

"We've lived in this neighborhood for more than 17 years. Neighbors are friendly, many conversations to be had walking your dogs or strolling through the tree-lined streets. Easy access to parks with walking and bike trails, DASH bus stops throughout, farmer's market, libraries, schools, shopping centers, and the dog park are all an easy walk. The babies when we moved in are all graduating now and there have been young families moving in again as houses become available. It is a vibrant, friendly community with passionate, active members. The local schools are truly special. Although the population is diverse, all come together and support one another. We love this neighborhood!"

"I have lived in the Plaza for close to six years. It’s a great place that many do not know about. There is a court yard with a garden - park like setting. It’s peaceful and the people are friendly. I have walked and done runs at night. I feel safe here."
