Old Town, one of my favorite places! I used to work in the area, however, I'm there often to eat, , ride the boat over to Georgetown waterfront, sitting at the waterfront, take photos, shopping, etc. Alexandria, especially Old Town is definitely a gem! I wish I had a chance to meet you when you were in town. I hope you enjoyed being home for a few :)
Thank you so much! Yes!!! It's such a great place year-round! I don't think I have ever taken the boat over to the Georgetown waterfront yet. Next time! ;)
This is the best handmade video of Old Town yet. Great touch on making it so personal for you. I lived on the cobblestones of Prince Street years ago and nothing has changed. One of the best places to live in the US. Thanks for sharing.
Very, very interesting video! Everything's so neat and beautyful over there. Thanks so much for sharing. Please do this kind of "walk-around-videos" more often, I love the way you composed and edited it!
I'm from Detroit but I consider Old Town my second home. I have been visiting the DC area since I was a child and always feel like I'm going home again.
Chelsea did you ever visit the Lord Fairfax house a few blocks down from King Street Blues Restaurant? In my 20's the Arial Family did a huge renovation removing paint layer after layer exposing a mantle painted black at the time of George Washington's death! It was amazing! I did the custom HVAC design for the Fairfax House before moving to Texas as a Professional Helicopter Pilot. Lived in Manassas, but spent every weekend downtown! Great video! It really captured the ambiance of Old Town.
Stumbled upon this today. Next month I am saying goodbye to San Diego after a 13 year stay and moving to Old Town Alexandria. I live in one of SD’s coolest historic neighborhoods (South Park) and slightly nervous of this transition. Grew up on east coast so hopefully I’ll adapt back to the lousy weather. Ha ha
Looking at those Boats in the water reminds me of my City where I used to live. That's cool and someday I would love to go to Virginia and it looks kinda fun to go :)
All I can say is wow!... I'm actually considering leaving san diego and moving there.. what would you say? any and all input would be greatly appreciated! and lastly, does the weather really change as rapidly as they say? thanks
Hello everyone. I just got a job offer in the area and was looking at living in the old town area. How is dating life for a single white attractive male (36yrs old) in Old Town? I've heard it was pretty good, any insight?
Sometimes being in a tourist in your hometown is a fun adventure!
Exactly!!!
How fun it is to play tourist in a place you grew up in! It's always fun to get a new perspective on something you've known your whole life.

Nothing takes me back to my childhood like Oldtown Alexandria! Hope to live there after college!
Love it. We just moved here from Atlanta about two months ago and I've been trying to describe to people where we live. This certainly captures it. :)
It’s a very unique place. I’m glad to hear you are enjoying your new home!
I never realized how great my city is

I loved Alexandria, just went there today and blogged, absolutely loved it!!
visited this place this weekend and felt in love would love to move here in a near future
Autumn is one of the best times to visit too!
Can you tell me about the cost is living there.. since I’m from nyc
Or make a video about it
The cost of living is rather high, especially in Old Town Alexandria. For actual numbers, you can try searching online to compare.
Chelsea Dinen higher than nyc?
Just spent a week here! Beautiful city! 💚
I’m so glad that you enjoyed it!
Cool. I was born there, but never have been there. My folks were working in DC at the time.
college freshman here from out of state. great video, makes me want to be back home again. miss old town.
This is the kind of American architecture that I love, hopefully I can visit one day! My dream is to do a US road trip 😃
+Ruth McIlveen It's a beautiful city. I'm sure you would love it! Hoping you get to take that US road trip soon! :)

Thoroughly enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing. I’m from Richmond and we have areas that look similar to what you showed here. Love it! 💕✨
Aww, thanks! I’m happy you enjoyed watching :)
The walks are night and the lights are great
I love my city
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE.
Ahhh I live really close to old town and go there almost every week. It's so weird seeing people there in videos etc.
Southside, Rustico, and Faccialuna's is our favourite!
i love old town i can’t wait to see more of old town i only visit some of the places ❤️♥️
I am from New Jersey but I love visiting Alexandria. Can't wait to go back again soon. Have you ever considered moving back? Seems like you miss it
It looks like Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls. The trees are very New England like, as are the historic old homes from colonial times.
Gorgeous video (should have more likes!)
I'm trying to decide on a city in Va. and this is very helpful.
Hey i am about to start my work here from early 2018 (probably by january).Looking forward to be part of new american culture experience.
All I can say is wow!... I'm actually considering leaving san diego and moving there.. what would you say? any and all input would be greatly appreciated! and lastly, does the weather really change as rapidly as they say? thanks
Have any suggestions on some areas to stay that are inexpensive?? Might be visiting for a long weekend
I live here currently born and raised 😍😊❤️
Such a beautiful place
Chelsea, lovely place. Alexandria is so beautiful. Loved your video. My son wants to study there, in Alexandria. Bye.
Thank you! It is a lovely place.
how many days is enough for Alexandria trip?
This is mostly Old towne and del ray, while I admit this is where the tourist sites are what about the western half of the city :(
I filmed this video around the parts of Alexandria where I had most recently lived at the time :)
❤️ Love Old Town
such a cute city!
I know. I miss it!
Walked through here for my walk across America xD...
If you're ever missing home, you can watch our channel for 360 videos of Alexandria!
I know about this place from Remember the Titans
Home sweet Home! ❤👍
