Eisenhower East and Carlyle, Alexandria: homes, schools, parks

Last checked Oct. 19, 2026. The boundary is the City of Alexandria’s Eisenhower East plan area, from its Small Area Plans map layer and the Eisenhower East Small Area Plan (PDF). School zones come from Alexandria City Public Schools’ 2026-27 Attendance Zone Locator; ratings from the Virginia Department of Education’s School Quality Profiles; home values from the Zillow Home Value Index (Zillow Research); parks from the city’s parks map layer; associations from the city’s common ownership map; bus lines from DASH; stores and road distances from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors).

Eisenhower East is the 245-acre plan area along Eisenhower Avenue between Telegraph Road and Old Town, and it includes the established Carlyle community. All of it is in ZIP code 22314, all of it is zoned for one elementary school, and it has its own Metrorail station. The city’s February 2020 plan sees it growing into two walkable urban neighborhoods near two Metro stations.

Where it is

On the city’s map, the Capital Beltway runs along the southern edge, Telegraph Road the western edge and Duke Street and the rail lines the northern side, with Hooff’s Run and Holland Lane on the east toward the Southwest Quadrant and Old Town. Eisenhower Avenue, Mill Road and Stovall Street run through it.

The plan says about 39 acres, or 16% of the area, was surface parking when it was written, and it plans a regional restaurant and shopping district around the movie theater and grocery store near the Eisenhower Avenue station. The National Science Foundation is one of the area’s existing office anchors, the plan says. Fill from building the Capital Beltway in the late 1960s and early 1970s made the low ground suitable for commercial development, and the Hoffman Center, about 1 million square feet of offices, followed.

Schools

Under the 2026-27 ACPS boundaries, the whole plan area is zoned for Lyles-Crouch Traditional Academy for elementary school and George Washington Middle for middle school.

All three are Fully Accredited. In the state’s latest framework ratings, Lyles-Crouch is Distinguished (95.76), and George Washington Middle (85.92) and Alexandria City High (81.16) are Approaching Expectations. Check one address in the Attendance Zone Locator, and see our schools guide.
