My fondness for the 22308 zip code may stem from my happy memories as a young au pair in the area - I suppose the picturesque drive along the water on the GW Parkway and being minutes from Old Town Alexandria or the lush woody pockets and country-living feel, doesn't hurt either. Aside from the area's rich historical factor, my biggest fascination with 22308 has been watching the explosion of remodels and new construction within the various neighborhoods over the past decade - the result is a stunningly eclectic and diverse area where the old and new coexist.
