Watergate of Landmark vs. Watergate of Alexandria: What’s the difference?
Investigating real estate in Alexandria can be a daunting task, and it becomes even more bewildering when similar names of completely different locations arise. For instance, Alexandria is home to two Watergates: Watergate of Landmark and Watergate of Alexandria. Although built by the same builders around the same time period, both of Alexandria’s Watergates have their own defining characteristics and unique benefits.
Watergate of Landmark
Sometimes called “Watermark” for short, Watergate of Landmark, located in Alexandria’s West End, packs itself full of pleasing amenities. Residents of these high-rises live a secure, comfortable lifestyle. The condos have 24-hour gated attention with attendees, are completely fenced and contain closed circuit TV for extra protection.
Watergate of Landmark, which dates back to the mid 1970s, offers numerous size options, too. Models come in four options: one bedroom and one bathroom, one bedroom and one-and-a-half bathrooms, two bedrooms and two bathrooms or three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. Condos have 13-foot balconies, crown molding, upgraded kitchens, spacious closets and a laundry area. Also, residents can choose hardwood or carpeted floors. Parking, fitness center access and a 38,000-square-foot community center are a few more benefits Watergate of Landmark residents enjoy. Plus, pet owners can keep their pets in their condos.

Watergate of Landmark’s location also makes it desirable, especially for commuters; it’s near I-395 and I-495 and is a mere mile from Blue Line’s Van Dorn Metro Station. Plus, Watergate of Landmark is inside the beltway and near other modes of public transportation.
For those seeking fun and retail locations, Watergate of Landmark is near many urban establishments, parks, plazas and the Landmark Mall, for which the area around Watergate of Landmark is named. The area is also known as “Condo Canyon” because of the large volume of high-rise condominiums in the area.

Watergate of Alexandria
Built before Watergate of Landmark in the late 1970s, Watergate of Alexandria, in Alexandria’s North Old Town, features two- and three-story luxury townhouses located near many sites important to commuters and others. For example, Watergate of Alexandria is one block east of the GW Parkway and a 15-minute walk from Braddock Metro Station, giving residents easy access to Washington, D.C., and Arlington. It’s also 10 miles north of Mount Vernon, a few miles from National Airport and just two blocks from the Potomac River.
But Watergate of Alexandria’s colonial elegance makes it a superb place for comfortable living. The location’s Williamsburg-style row homes and landscaped courtyards and gardens add to the wide range of services covered by the condo’s association fees. Services include clean up, pest control, snow removal, landscaping and trash and recycling.
