Cameron Station and Eisenhower West, Alexandria: homes and schools

Last checked Oct. 19, 2026. The boundary is the City of Alexandria’s Eisenhower West plan area, from its Small Area Plans map layer and the Eisenhower West 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 West is the plan area in the city’s southwest corner, about 620 acres along Eisenhower Avenue, and it includes Cameron Station. All of it is in ZIP code 22304, nearly all of it is zoned for one elementary school, and the Van Dorn Street Metrorail station is inside it. The city’s 2015 plan says the area was mostly commercial and industrial until homes arrived in the late 1990s.

Where it is

The plan describes the area as bounded by the Blue Line Metrorail and Amtrak tracks on the south, including the Van Dorn Street station; the Fairfax County line on the west; South Pickett Street and Duke Street on the north; and Holmes Run and Cameron Run on the east. Eisenhower Avenue, Cameron Station Boulevard and South Van Dorn Street run through it. Landmark and Van Dorn is across Duke Street and Pickett Street to the north.

The plan sets out six neighborhoods, from the 79.6-acre Van Dorn Innovation District near the station to the existing homes of Cameron Station and Summers Grove, and it plans a multimodal bridge to connect the Van Dorn area and a straightened western end of Eisenhower Avenue. It lists the industrial neighbors: Vulcan Materials, Virginia Paving, the Norfolk Southern ethanol transloading facility and the Covanta energy-from-waste plant, which a city agreement keeps in place until 2038.

Schools

Under the 2026-27 ACPS boundaries, about 98% of the area is zoned for Samuel W. Tucker Elementary and Francis C. Hammond Middle.

All three are Fully Accredited. In the state’s latest framework ratings, Tucker (83.57) and Alexandria City High (81.16) are Approaching Expectations, and Hammond (79.27) Needs Intensive Support. Tucker runs a modified calendar with some different days off, according to our schools guide. Check one address in the Attendance Zone Locator.
