Local info
Alexandria, VA General City Information
Alexandria, Virginia, is a city on the Potomac River, just south of Washington, DC. It’s known for its Old Town, with brick sidewalks and well-preserved 18th- and 19th-century buildings. King Street is lined with boutiques and specialty shops. Founding fathers dined at Gadsby’s Tavern, now a museum with period objects and photographs. Carlyle House Historic Park is a restored Georgian mansion with a garden
Transportation: Depending on the location of your housing, a car may not be necessary while living in D.C, where the metro access is quite convenient, making travel around the city fairly easy. That means it is especially important to consider the location of your housing compared to where the hotel is. If you live near the hotel, you can walk or get a bike. Or you can use DASH.
Climate: Alexandria has warm summers with often cold winters. The summer average temperatures comes out to 80°F (26.6°C) and the winter average is a cool 38°F (3°C). Being located as north as it is, snow fall is also a concern, with the city getting an average 15.5 inches (39 cm) per year. Aside from snow, it also rains frequently in D.C., with an average annual rainfall rate of 40.78 inches (103.6 cm) per year.
Housing: Washington DC Metro area is expensive. A 1-bedroom apartment can start around $1800+ per month, unfurnished. Shared housing is recommended (roomies and roommates).
