Landmark and Van Dorn, Alexandria: homes, schools and parks

Last checked Oct. 19, 2026. The boundary is the City of Alexandria’s Landmark/Van Dorn plan area, from its Small Area Plans map layer, the Landmark/Van Dorn Small Area Plan (PDF) and the Landmark/Van Dorn Corridor 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; place names, stores and road distances from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors).

Landmark/Van Dorn is the 607-acre plan area at the city’s western end, around Duke Street, Van Dorn Street and the former Landmark Mall. All of it is in ZIP code 22304. The city’s corridor plan calls this part of Alexandria the West End and plans two mixed-use centers to serve the residential neighborhoods around them: the West End Town Center at the old mall site and an “urban village” at Pickett Place to the south.

Where it is

On the city’s map, I-395, Duke Street, Holmes Run and South Pickett Street form long stretches of the edge; Eisenhower West is next door to the south and Seminary Hill to the east. Duke Street, North and South Van Dorn Street, Edsall Road, Yoakum Parkway, Holmes Run Parkway, Stevenson Avenue and South Reynolds Street run through it.

The 2009 Landmark/Van Dorn Corridor Plan covers about 240 acres of shops, offices, homes and industrial land inside this area, in four districts: the West End Town Center at the mall site, Pickett Place, Van Dorn Metro and the existing residential areas. Chapter 10, added in 2019 and amended in 2021, replaced the earlier plan for the mall site. OpenStreetMap names that site WestEnd Alexandria.

Schools

Under the 2026-27 ACPS boundaries, the area is split among three elementary zones and two middle school zones:
