Househacking in Alexandria VA

[David Cherkowsky]

Does anyone have experience house hacking in Alexandria VA? I plan to buy a house to househack this spring (either rent by the room or a house with an english basement). I'm mainly focusing on Old Town, but would be open to Del Ray or Potomac Yards.

Looking on FB marketplace, there doesn't seem to be many rent by the rooms (at least at the moment) in Old Town. From what was available, rooms seem to be renting for around $1000. I imagine it will be easy to find interested tenants, but I'd be happy to hearing about your experience.
