Character and Charm in Alexandria's Garden District
Alexandria's Garden District was originally established in 1905, with new construction continuing every few years since the 1950s. Located about five minutes from downtown and the banks of the Red River, the Garden District reflects diverse architecture, including bungalow, wood frame, colonial, Georgian and some contemporary styles. Houses often feature front porches, high ceilings and wood floors, with many having been updated to include upscale amenities. Throughout the neighborhood, sidewalks, mature trees and established landscaping prevail. Recent sold listings averaged $340,000 for a size of roughly 3,600 square feet.
