Franconia is a neighborhood in southwest Alexandria just a few miles from Washington, DC. Franconia’s proximity to the Interstate 495 and 85 junction puts this city in an ideal location. The Franconia-Springfield Station, served by the WMATA (also known as the Metro), allows for easy commutes as well. Apartments, houses, condos, and townhouses make up the diverse rental market of Franconia and are priced similarly to rentals in the DC metro area.
The eastern border of Franconia partially encompasses the sprawling Huntley Meadows Park while other scenic parks dot the inside of the neighborhood. Franconia also contains a few restaurants and shopping centers, but a step west of the neighborhood will lead renters to a large cluster of shopping malls off Interstate 94, including Springfield Town Center and the Concord Shopping Center.
As of March 2025, the average apartment rent in Franconia is $2,322 for one bedroom, $2,678 for two bedrooms, and $3,318 for three bedrooms. Apartment rent in Franconia has increased by 4.2% in the past year.
