River Towers combines country feel with city nearness

A few miles outside Alexandria’s Old Town lays River Towers, high-rise condominiums that combine small town, rural living with proximity to Northern Virginia’s largest cities. River Towers is near the George Washington Parkway and the Potomac River; plus, it’s a short bike ride, walk or bus trip to the Huntington Metro Station.

However, just because it’s a bit tucked away from bustling city life doesn’t mean it lacks some of Northern Virginia’s best services and amenities. River Towers has an outdoor pool, on-site businesses and market, exercise facilities, private garden plots and a playground. Parks surround three sides of River Towers and contain jogging paths and hiking trails for those who enjoy scenic outdoor activities.

When it’s time to do some shopping or enjoy a dinner out, the Belle View Shopping Center is mere blocks away. If that’s not enough, potential and current residents love River Towers’ reasonable rents and fees. And with River Towers‘ beauty, who wouldn’t love that?

Canadian Geese at River Towers

River Towers backs up against the Dyke Marsh, a national wildlife preserve that is home to a good many waterfowl and at least one pair of beavers that I’ve seen.  Normally the geese stay close to the marsh and don’t approach the buildings at River Towers, but I suppose this year, they’ve had enough of the snow.

If you’re seeking a home that is close to Old Town, close to the Potomac and you don’t want to break the bank, River Towers is a great place to investigate any time of the year.
