5 Ways to Enjoy Spring in Northern Virginia

We are just a few weeks away from the official start of spring here in Northern Virginia! And while the upcoming season does signal the return of many homebuyers and sellers to the real estate market, it's also an excellent time to discover everything the surrounding communities have to offer!

If you are moving to Northern Virginia this spring or are a current resident with a list of places yet to explore, you will want to add the following to your spring to-do list:

Tour NoVA By Boat

Alexandria Virginia offers numerous ways to take in the local sites on the water. Float by George Washington's Mount Vernon on a cruise, take a water taxi to the National Harbor or National Mall, or take a Canine Cruise so your four-legged friend can enjoy the Potomac too!

Go on a Bike Ride

Northern Virginia is home to many bike trails, including the Mount Vernon Trail, the Custis Trail, and the Washington and Old Dominion Trail to name a few.

Go Shopping

You will find some of the best shopping destinations in NoVA! For instance, Alexandria's King Street has everything from antiques to decor to unique men's, women's and kids apparel. Arlington is also home to hundreds of speciality stores!

Visit a Memorial or Monument

When the weather turns warmer, the timing is right to visit the local monuments you may have yet to see. The Arlington National Cemetery, Marine Corps War Memoral (Iwo Jima) and Pentagon Memorial are all in the area!

See the Cherry Blossoms

One of the Washington, DC area's favorite ways to celebrate spring is with the National Cherry Blossom Festival! Between March 20 and April 17, you can head into DC to marvel at this springtime wonder or stay in Northern Virginia and see the blossoms at locations like the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens.
