A mid-rise condominium community constructed in 1986, Mount Vernon Lakes is composed primarily of two-bedroom flats arranged in garden-style buildings clustered around landscaped common grounds and a central pond. Units are typically single-level with open or traditional floor plans, hardwood or laminate floors, eat-in/gourmet kitchens, breakfast nooks, and primary suites with private baths; many residences include sliding glass doors or walkout patios that face the water. Shared outdoor features emphasize casual recreation: jogging/walking paths, tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds, and pond-side green space. Practical conveniences are part of the ownership package — in-unit laundry, assigned reserved parking with ample visitor stalls, and HOA-covered services such as common-area maintenance, lawn care, snow removal, trash pickup, water, and insurance reserves. The architecture is utilitarian suburban condominium stock from the mid-1980s, with refreshed interiors common through periodic renovations and recent kitchen and bathroom updates in many units. Located in Alexandria’s Mount Vernon corridor, the community provides direct access to Route 1 and I-495, and is near Fort Belvoir, Huntington Metro, regional bus routes, and local shopping and dining, supporting an easy commute into surrounding employment centers and recreational corridors like the Mount Vernon Trail and Potomac waterfront.
