Beverly Hills
Neighborhood in Alexandria, Virginia
Alexandria County 22302, 22305
The Alexandria, Virginia enclave of Beverly Hills might not be as glitzy as the California Beverly Hills depicted on the 1990s television show or have a zip code synonymous with teen angst. Still, the rolling hills and magnificent architecture make up for it. “It’s called Beverly Hills for two reasons: one of the planners was named Beverly and because of the topography — it’s hilly,” says Geoff Giles, a Realtor with eXp Realty. “They considered the landscape and wanted to preserve the hills.” Giles adds residents in Beverly Hills enjoy walking the neighborhood’s streets, shaded by towering oaks and mature dogwoods. The walkability fosters a sense of community: “You’ll see the neighbors waving at everybody.”
While there are no restaurants or shops in the 500-home community, Giles says the neighborhood is 10 minutes from multiple attractions such as Crystal City, Old Town Alexandria and Washington, D.C. “The location is awesome,” Giles, who has seven years of experience selling homes in Northern Virginia, adds. “You can get to D.C. quick.” Most homes in the community were built in the 1930s and 1940s and Giles says there is a “healthy mix” of housing styles, including the historical elegance of colonials and the pitched roofs of the Cape Cods. The average cost of homes in Beverly Hills is $1.2 million and Giles says there is little to no inventory in the neighborhood. And when there is, it doesn’t last long. “When houses there come on the market, they are only on the market for about 20 days,” Giles, who is a part of Debbie Dogrul Associates, says. “One house recently only lasted two days on the market.” If you are looking for a large lot, Beverly Hills might not be ideal — according to Giles, lots run about one-quarter of an acre. “This is not a big sprawling neighborhood,” he says. Since the neighborhood is older, many residents have either renovated their homes or flipped them, according to Giles.
One advantage, Giles says, of living in Beverly Hills is the proximity to George Mason Elementary School, which is within walking distance of most of the houses in the neighborhood. The B-rated school by Niche has a 14-to-1 student-to-teacher ratio. George Washington Middle School, B-rated, also has a 14-to-1 student-to-teacher ratio.
Alexandria City High School, formally named T.C. Williams High School and B-rated by Niche, is best known for being the subject matter of the 2000 film, “Remember the Titans.” All neighborhood schools are part of the Alexandria City Public Schools, ranked B by Niche.
Beverly Hills has two local parks: Beverley Park, affectionately known as “The Pit,” and Monticello Park. The Pit is a gathering place for adults and kids alike. Younger children will enjoy the recently renovated playground and adults can assemble around the park’s fire pit. Besides having hiking trails, the 15-acre Monticello Park is well-known amongst bird watchers — the ruby-crowned kinglet, winter wren and hermit thrush are three of the most often seen birds at the park.
A quick drive to Old Town Alexandria offers many eating and shopping destinations. The Majestic offers buffalo duck nuggets and croquettes, while Hank’s Oyster Bar has private rooftop dining with stunning views of the waterfront and the Potomac River. Commuters in the community will find access to I-395 and the Metro and bus services convenient and hassle-free.
