Alexandria marks Brightview’s sixth community in Virginia
Baltimore, MD (July 15, 2025) – Brightview Senior Living, an award-winning provider of senior living that builds, owns, and operates nearly 50 communities along the East Coast, announces the grand opening of Brightview Alexandria. Located just five miles from Old Town and two miles from Kingstowne at 6509 Telegraph Road, Alexandria, VA, the community is situated in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Northern Virginia with close proximity to Washington, DC. 
Brightview’s unique rental model allows residents to enjoy convenient living without a large entry fee or long-term commitment. At the helm of the community is Karen Stewart, Executive Director, who brings over a decade of senior living experience and leadership to the community.
“From the moment our new residents move in, they’ll see how our community supports their independence, connection, and wellness,” Stewart said. “We’re proud to offer a place where residents can thrive and truly feel at home.”
Brightview Alexandria offers 86 Independent Living apartments, 31 Assisted Living apartments, 14 Gallery Assisted Living apartments and 36 dementia care suites:
-
Independent Living (IL): IL residents experience the best of both worlds – premium services and amenities within their community, with retail and restaurant options nearby.
