[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are you trying to avoid? Things like package theft, car theft, bicycle theft, etc... happens everywhere. Even far in the burbs.

I've lived in different parts of Alexandria City (Del Ray, Old Town) for a decade and violent crime is rare. I feel very safe.

Pentagon City in Arlington seems to have some recent issues with carjackings and the like. But that's a very recent thing. [/quote]

What was it like living in old town? I’d love to live off of or on lee street/king street area. [/quote]

OP here. I'd love to know that, too. I'm so accustomed to a townhouse in a community rather than having the front door right on Royal or North Washington St. [/quote]
It’s truly amazing. I never use my car on weekends and also manage to bike or walk somewhere in the evenings year round. We’ve lived in various locations in the SE quadrant (I’m biased but it’s considered by many the best part of old town) for years, and crime is minimal. A babysitter left her purse in the passenger seat and the car was broken in to to take that, we had an unlocked bike stolen from next to our house, a package was stolen off our steps, etc, but it’s all minimal and contrary to the sky is falling posters on next door, it’s much safer than it was. 20 years ago, n old town was scary and upper king st (between route one and the metro) was awful. That said, you mention living on n Washington st? I wouldn’t do that just bc it’s a very busy street with loud buses. [/quote]
