The town’s low density and agricultural roots contribute to a lifestyle that feels grounded, private, and authentic.

It’s especially attractive to buyers who want elbow room and natural surroundings without feeling remote.

What types of properties are available in Alexandria?

Waterfront opportunities are limited and highly sought-after, while off-water homes often provide excellent value relative to nearby lakefront towns.

Is Alexandria a good option for second homes or long-term ownership?

Yes. Alexandria works well for second homes, primary residences, and legacy-style ownership. Its location supports year-round use, while its quiet character attracts buyers planning to hold property long term rather than pursue high-turnover rentals.

Proximity to Newfound Lake and the surrounding mountains has helped sustain steady demand, particularly for properties offering views, privacy, or easy lake access.
