Get to Know Alexandria Virginia

Alexandria has so much to offer, as a place to live, work and visit and as an employer! In the past year, Condé Nast Traveler named Alexandria as the #3 Best Small City in the United States and Southern Living magazine named Alexandria as one of the South’s Best Cities and one of the 20 Most Beautiful Places in Virginia. With our authentic historic districts, vibrant nightlife, multicultural neighborhoods and beautiful waterfront, Alexandria is like no other community in the Washington, D.C. area!

Sound like Alexandria might match your vibe? We’re also the third most walkable city in Virginia and have 52 miles of bike lanes and trails, 1,238 acres of park space, and more than 200 independent restaurants and boutiques.

As an employer, the City of Alexandria has been recognized nationally as a top 100 Healthiest Workplace, maintains a perfect score on the Municipality Equality Index from the Human Rights Campaign, and is considered one of the best managed local governments, having held top AAA/aaa bond ratings for more than three decades.

Are you a military veteran or reservist? Military Times has consistently ranked Alexandria as the best medium-sized city for veterans to live, and the Alexandria Sheriff’s Office is proud that one in five of our deputies is a veteran or reservist.
