Listed rent runs from $1,467 to $2,516 per month as of September 29, 2026, and the community's published fee schedule lists no additional recurring fees — the advertised number is the required monthly number.

How Much Does It Cost to Live at Foxchase in 2026?
The figures below reflect homes listed as of September 29, 2026. Availability changes weekly, so confirm current pricing with the leasing office.
One-bedroom apartments: $1,467 to $1,692 per month, 460 to 580 sq ft, across four floor plans
Two-bedroom apartments and townhomes: $2,179 to $2,516 per month, 1,050 to 1,180 sq ft, across four floor plans
Required recurring fees: None. The published recurring fee schedule, checked 2026-09-10, lists no additional recurring charges. Utilities are billed by usage, and deposits and one-time charges are quoted separately by the leasing office.
The gap between one- and two-bedrooms is unusually wide
At Foxchase the top one-bedroom lists at $1,692 and the entry two-bedroom at $2,179 — a step of roughly $487 a month with no options in between.
That matters because the two tiers are aimed at different renters. The one-bedrooms are genuinely compact at 460 to 580 sq ft, which suits a single renter who values the location and the price over space. The two-bedrooms and townhomes jump to 1,050 to 1,180 sq ft, roughly double the floor area, which is why the price moves as much as it does.
If you are a single renter deciding whether to stretch, the honest framing is that you are not paying $487 for a slightly bigger home. You are paying it for about twice the space and, in the townhome plans, a different kind of home altogether.

The Townhomes Are the Most Distinctive Thing on the Property
Two of the two-bedroom plans are townhomes — The Gadsby Townhome Premier and The Jefferson Townhome Premier. A townhome gives you your own front door and multi-level living rather than a single-level unit along an interior corridor, which is close to impossible to find at this price point inside Alexandria.
If a townhome is what you want, ask about availability early. There are only four two-bedroom plans in total and the townhome variants are a subset of those, so they turn over less often than the apartments.
What Is the Difference Between Standard and Premier Layouts?
Foxchase runs the same standard-and-Premier pattern across its floor plans: The Lee and The Lee Premier, The Washington and The Washington Premier, The Gadsby and The Gadsby Townhome Premier.
The Premier tiers reflect renovation and finish level rather than extra square footage. Renovated homes carry quartz countertops, designer cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and open-concept layouts with in-home washers and dryers.
Practical takeaway: ask the leasing office to show you a standard and a Premier of the same plan back to back before you decide. It is a short comparison that settles whether the finish level is worth the step up to you.
What Amenities Does Foxchase Offer?
Pool and fitness
A resort-style pool and a fitness centre open 24 hours. The gym operating around the clock matters more than it sounds for anyone working shifts or commuting into DC on an early schedule.
Outdoor and recreation
A tennis court and a playground sit on the grounds, along with a secure on-site dog park.
Work and study
A study lounge and a conference room give residents somewhere to take a call or work outside the apartment. Wi-Fi is available in common areas, and Xfinity service is offered to residents at a discounted rate — worth asking the leasing office for the current terms, as this is a resident offer rather than a service included in rent.
Inside the homes
Renovated homes feature quartz countertops, designer cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, open-concept layouts and in-home washers and dryers.
How Do You Get to DC and the Metro From Foxchase?
This is the strongest practical argument for the location.
Van Dorn Street Metro: about 8 minutes
King Street-Old Town Metro: about 9 minutes
The Pentagon: about 12 minutes
Mark Center: about 6 minutes
Inova Alexandria Hospital: about 3 minutes
Harris Teeter: about 3 minutes
Shoppes of Foxchase: about 3 minutes
Taney Avenue Park: about 6 minutes on foot
Residents specifically mention direct bus service to Metro alongside the drive times, so a car is not the only way to reach the system.
Travel times come from the community's location guide and OpenStreetMap routing under typical conditions.
The Themes That Come Up Most in Resident Reviews
The community reports themes drawn from more than 200 resident reviews.
The location, and being able to walk to groceries. Residents consistently name the convenience of having Harris Teeter a short walk away and direct bus service to Metro.
A quiet, tree-filled setting. The wooded, low-noise character of the neighbourhood comes up repeatedly.
Fast, professional maintenance. The maintenance team is the most consistently praised part of the operation, with most requests completed the same day or within one business day, and technicians who explain the work they have done.
These are themes the community publishes from its own review set rather than a rating we have independently audited. Read the underlying reviews yourself before deciding.
Who Is Foxchase Best For?
DC and Pentagon commuters. Van Dorn Metro about 8 minutes, the Pentagon about 12, and bus service to the system without needing to drive.
Healthcare workers at Inova Alexandria. The hospital is about 3 minutes from the front door, which is a rare commute at this rent level inside Alexandria.
Renters who want a townhome. Two of the four two-bedroom plans are townhomes with their own entrance — an option most apartment communities in Alexandria simply do not offer.
Single renters prioritising location over space. A one-bedroom from $1,467 all-in, inside Alexandria, walking distance to a full grocery store, is the trade this property makes well.
Renters comparing total monthly cost. With no additional recurring fees on the published schedule, the advertised rent is the required monthly number, which makes comparison against other Alexandria communities straightforward.
Foxchase may be a weaker fit for renters who need a large one-bedroom — at 460 to 580 sq ft these are compact — and anyone wanting a brand-new building, since these are renovated homes rather than new construction.
