If you enjoy a community with strong historical ties, but with a modern, urban flair, you will love Audubon Estates. Located in vibrant Alexandria, Virginia -- the hometown of George Washington -- this all-ages, family-friendly community is close to Washington, D.C., but tucked into a quiet area of Hybla Valley.
Audubon Estates is a beautiful and surprisingly affordable community, surrounded by a proud heritage and close proximity to the heart of the nation, trendy shops, exquisite restaurants and great entertainment. It’s no wonder this area has been called one of America’s “best-loved residential areas.”
Our community has one foot in nature, near county parks and swimming pools, and the other foot in the city, just a shot away from the metro bus and train. Audubon Estates emphasizes community, with more than 10 playgrounds, a variety of picnic areas, on-site maintenance and landscaping, and other great places to gather or just stay active, like a basketball court and a nearby health club.
