4 S Van Dorn St

A mid-20th-century low-rise condominium complex in Alexandria, originally completed in 1963, composed primarily of one-bedroom residences and some larger two-bedroom layouts arranged across garden-style buildings. Architecture is utilitarian with slab forms, broad windows and sliding-glass doors that open to private balconies or ground-level patios; interior units frequently display open or traditional plans with wood-look flooring, upgraded kitchens (granite counters, stainless appliances), full baths and built-in storage such as large walk-in closets. Common areas emphasize recreational and social life: multiple outdoor pools, tennis and volleyball courts, grilling plazas, sand courts, landscaped lawns and a dog park, plus a clubhouse with fitness center, business center, media/party rooms and an on-site convenience store. Resident services include on-site management, weekday shuttle service to Van Dorn Metro, elevator access in some buildings, intercom entry systems, and utilities coverage that commonly includes water, gas and hot water (electric and internet typically excluded). Parking is handled with resident decals and visitor passes rather than assigned spaces. Pet policies are generally permissive for small dogs and cats. The property sits near major commuter routes (I-395/I-495/I-95) and local retail corridors, offering a suburban feel with quick access to DC, the Pentagon and Old Town Alexandria.
