Lived in southern Alexandria (Fairfax) 20+ years
Live near Mt. Vernon (walking distance), work in Kingstowne.
Kingstowne is mostly townhouses and mcmansions, but it has pretty much every grocery store, chain store, and restaurant in a small stretch of highway. Also close to Springfield "town center," not far from Old Town and can hop on beltway easily. That being said, living there is not for me, I like some trees in my yard.
We live just north of Mt. Vernon estate in a wooded neighborhood, right off GW parkway. We can be in Kingstowne or Old Town in 15 minutes. There are a couple neighborhoods like ours (mid century modern), but most are more traditional colonial with lawn types.
