Arlandria, located between Potomac Yard and Del Ray, is a residential and commercial Alexandria neighborhood with a grid of side streets and a well-used trail network. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Mount Vernon Avenue near Four Mile Run, where taquerias, bakeries, small groceries, and casual eateries line the sidewalks. Low-rise brick apartments and mid-century garden-style buildings mix with compact single-family homes and newer infill. Four Mile Run Trail and the Potomac Yard Trail shape daily routines with bike-and-walk corridors. Moments like live music and community gatherings at The Birchmere serve as a cultural anchor. Local staples such as Stomping Ground and Taqueria Poblano add a distinctly Alexandria flavor.

The intent of the CRMU-M zone is to establish a zoning classification which permits developments that include a mixture of residential, commercial, cultural, and institutional uses in a single structure or multiple but integrated and related structures; to encourage a diversification of uses in unified projects located in proximity to metro stations in order to encourage the conservation of land resources, minimization of automobile travel, and the location of employment and retail centers in proximity to housing; and to promote the development of mixed use projects by allowing greater densities than would otherwise be permitted to the extent the proposed mix of uses, design and location of the development warrant.
