22315 REAL ESTATE & AREA GUIDE
Is 22315 the right part of Alexandria for you?
If you are comparing 22315, the first thing I would clarify is that this Fairfax County ZIP is larger than Kingstowne. The home type, recorded subdivision, route to Franconia-Springfield, and exact school boundary can change the fit—and the price conversation.

What 22315 actually represents
ZIP code 22315 is an Alexandria mailing area in Fairfax County. The Census ZIP Code Tabulation Area stretches across Kingstowne, Island Creek, Hayfield Farm, Landsdowne, Amberleigh, and other recorded subdivision names.
Kingstowne is the largest recent MLS market group in the ZIP, but it is not a synonym for the entire ZIP. County services, taxes, planning, and public-school attendance boundaries are Fairfax County matters, while the postal city remains Alexandria.

Property type changes the 22315 price conversation
Across 341 residential sales, the ZIP-wide median close was $700,000. Detached homes, townhouses, and condominiums occupied different price ranges, so the all-home median is orientation—not a valuation.

CURRENT 12 MONTHS VS. PRIOR 12 MONTHS
Prices held, while more listings needed a reduction
The median close rose 1.4% while closed sales fell 4.5%. Median market time increased from six to nine days, and the recorded reduction share rose from 17.9% to 22.6%. That is a reason to inspect pricing history and comparables—not a promise that a seller will negotiate.

Buyer-comparison signals
How to use this: compare the listing history, recent same-type sales, condition, and the seller’s position. ZIP-wide signals cannot set one property’s offer strategy.
| Property type | Sales prior → current | Median price prior → current | Change | Median DOM prior → current |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All residential | 357 → 341 | $690,000 → $700,000 | +1.4% | 6 → 9 |
| Detached | 78 → 85 | $830,000 → $910,000 | +9.6% | 7 → 7 |
| Townhouse | 215 → 205 | $690,000 → $685,000 | −0.7% | 6 → 11 |
| Condominium | 64 → 51 | $452,500 → $456,500 | +0.9% | 6 → 7 |

RECORDED SUBDIVISION CONTEXT
Seven recent market groups cleared the sample threshold
These rolling 12-month examples normalize recorded MLS labels and require at least five sales. They are market groupings—not promises about HOA membership or official neighborhood boundaries.
Normalization examples: Island Creek includes the recorded “Condo at Island Creek” label; Crest of Alexandria includes “The Crest of Alexandria”; Devereux West includes the recorded “D Evereux West” variation. Every public saved search must retain ZIP 22315.
BUYER DECISION MAP
Compare recorded market groups and commute direction in one view
Use this map for orientation, then verify the exact property address. The ZIP boundary is a Census ZCTA approximation, recorded subdivisions are reference geometry, and the commute lines show direction—not the road route.
Map sources: Census 2020 ZCTA and Fairfax County recorded subdivision geometry. Market statistics: Bright MLS, 12 months ending July 2026, minimum five closed sales. Geometry provides orientation and does not establish an official neighborhood boundary. Commute lines are directional planning aids rather than turn-by-turn routes; use the live directions links for current routing.
REPRESENTATIVE ROUTE ESTIMATES
Use one reference point, then test the actual address
These route snapshots begin at the Census internal point for ZCTA 22315 (38.7567636, −77.1474318). They were captured August 31, 2026 and can change with traffic, construction, weather, and the exact street.
Captured Google Maps route snapshots are not guarantees or no-traffic promises. Open live directions and use the property address at your normal departure time.

ADDRESS-SPECIFIC RESEARCH
Do not assume one school pyramid serves the entire ZIP
Fairfax County Public Schools assigns schools by residence address. ZIP and neighborhood labels do not equal attendance boundaries. FCPS implemented approved countywide boundary changes for the 2026–27 school year, making an address-specific check especially important.

A recorded price reduction means original list price exceeds the final list price recorded at closing. Sale-to-original-list ratio is close price divided by original list price. A recorded concession means the final concession field is above zero; it does not measure every seller-paid cost. ZCTAs approximate ZIP geography and do not define postal routes, neighborhoods, school boundaries, or planning areas. MLS information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Property mix can move medians. This page provides general information, not an appraisal, forecast, school assignment, commute guarantee, or legal advice.
BEFORE YOU NARROW THE SEARCH
What to compare before choosing a home in 22315
The ZIP-wide picture is the starting point. The real decision still comes down to the exact home, street, and routine.
- Start with property type. Detached, townhouse, and condominium price ranges were materially different.
- Separate 22315 from Kingstowne. Kingstowne matters, but it is one market group inside a broader ZIP.
- Verify the actual address. Use it for FCPS and for live commute checks at the times you travel.
- Compare current inventory with like-for-like sales. Live status changes; historical medians do not price one home.
