Today’s real estate decisions—especially at the luxury level—are no longer just about property. They’re about lifestyle, long-term value, and positioning.
Many buyers and sellers I work with are deciding between Old Town Alexandria and Georgetown—two iconic markets with very different characteristics. At the same time, broader trends across Northern Virginia, particularly the growth of the technology sector and what I refer to as the “Fiber Corridor,” are shaping demand in new ways.
This page is designed to provide a clear, data-driven perspective to help you make informed decisions.
As the data shows, Georgetown has consistently commanded a higher price per square foot, reflecting its historic prestige, architectural significance, and proximity to the urban core of Washington, DC. Old Town Alexandria, however, has demonstrated steady and resilient growth, offering a compelling combination of walkability, waterfront lifestyle, and relative value. In many cases, buyers are finding that Old Town provides a similar lifestyle experience with greater flexibility and long-term upside.

Northern Virginia has quietly become one of the most important technology and infrastructure hubs in the world. With the continued expansion of data centers in Loudoun County and Prince William County, along with major investments from companies like Amazon Web Services, the region is experiencing sustained economic growth.
This “Fiber Corridor” is not just a technology story—it’s a housing story.
We are seeing increased demand from buyers who are connected to this ecosystem and are seeking lifestyle-driven communities within commuting distance, including Old Town Alexandria, select areas of Arlington, and even Virginia’s countryside markets.
Understanding these trends allows both buyers and sellers to make more strategic real estate decisions.
With over two decades of experience in the Alexandria and Washington, DC markets, I work with clients as an advisor—helping them evaluate not just properties, but opportunities.

Greg is great at helping sellers maximize ROI on their house by suggesting upgrades, painting, and staging, along with implementing innovative marketing. He helps buyers identify what it is they really want and need in a home, and once they’ve found ‘the one,’ present an offer that will win in a competitive environment.
