Brigadoon is an established community of 81 brick townhouse-style condominiums in Alexandria’s West End. Located along Gretna Green Court near South Pickett Street and Duke Street, the community offers unusually spacious residences, garage parking, private outdoor areas, and access to shopping, parks, public transportation, and major commuter routes.
Brigadoon was developed in three phases during the 1980s. Although the residences look and function like traditional townhouses, ownership is generally structured as a condominium.
Brigadoon residences are larger than many townhouse-style condominiums in Alexandria. Homes commonly provide approximately 2,400 to 2,600 square feet across three finished levels, although individual floor plans and recorded measurements vary.
Most homes have two or three bedrooms with multiple bathrooms. Some two-bedroom configurations feature two spacious upper-level suites, each with a private bathroom. Three-bedroom layouts may include a primary suite, additional bedrooms, and two full bathrooms on the upper level.
Main levels typically contain separate living and dining areas, hardwood flooring, high ceilings, an eat-in kitchen, and access to a private patio or yard. Columns, decorative railings, crown molding, and wood-burning fireplaces are common architectural details.
Finished lower levels may include a recreation room, home office, library, wet bar, laundry room, storage areas, half bathroom, and a second fireplace. Many homes also provide direct access to an attached garage.
Brigadoon is governed by a condominium association rather than a traditional fee-simple townhouse HOA. The condominium fee may cover common-area maintenance, management, reserve funding, front-yard landscaping, private-road maintenance, snow removal, trash collection, and portions of the community’s master insurance policy.
Coverage can differ from what buyers might expect in a conventional condominium building. Before purchasing, buyers should review the current resale disclosure package, budget, reserve study, master insurance policy, maintenance chart, pet rules, rental policies, and parking regulations.
Many Brigadoon homes include an attached one-car garage and private driveway. Depending on the residence and development phase, additional assigned or permit-controlled parking may convey with the property. Guest and nearby street parking may also be available.
Buyers should confirm which garage, driveway, or surface spaces are legally assigned to the specific unit and review the association’s visitor and overnight parking procedures.
Brigadoon provides landscaped common grounds and maintained streets but does not have a community swimming pool, fitness center, or clubhouse. Buyers seeking recreational facilities can use nearby City of Alexandria parks, trails, and recreation centers.
The absence of an extensive amenity package allows the association to focus on maintaining the community’s grounds, infrastructure, and shared exterior elements.
Holmes Run Trail is one of the closest recreational resources and provides a paved route for walking and cycling through Alexandria’s West End. The trail connects several parks and residential areas along the Holmes Run waterway.
Nearby destinations include Ben Brenman Park, Armistead L. Boothe Park, Cameron Run Regional Park, and Dora Kelley Nature Park. Ben Brenman Park offers athletic fields, a playground, dog park, pond, picnic areas, and trail connections around Cameron Station.
Residents can reach grocery stores, restaurants, pharmacies, and other services along Duke Street and South Pickett Street. Alexandria Commons, Foxchase Shopping Center, and the Landmark area provide convenient shopping options.
The WestEnd Alexandria redevelopment at the former Landmark Mall property is planned to include additional residences, retail space, healthcare facilities, parks, and community amenities.
Brigadoon is located near Duke Street, South Pickett Street, Van Dorn Street, Interstate 395, and the Capital Beltway. These routes provide access to Old Town, the Pentagon, National Landing, Washington, D.C., and other Northern Virginia employment centers.
Van Dorn Street Metro station serves the Blue Line and is the closest Metrorail station. DASH and Metrobus routes operate along nearby streets and provide connections to Metro stations and other Alexandria destinations.
Brigadoon is served by Alexandria City Public Schools. Recent property information has associated some Gretna Green Court addresses with Samuel W. Tucker Elementary School and Alexandria City High School.
School boundaries and grade configurations can change. Buyers should confirm the current elementary, middle, and high school assignments for a specific address through the school division’s official boundary locator.
