# [Washington Examiner: "A Fresh Alternative"](https://www.eya.com/blog/wp/washington-examiner-a-fresh-alternative)

 Written by [EYA Homes](https://www.eya.com/blog/author/eya-homes) | November 16, 2012

One stroll through [Old Town Commons](https://www.eya.com/Old_Town_Commons), and you'll easily pick up on the neighborhood's fresh new vibe. This sensibility is captured in *The Washington Examiner*'s new piece on the community, entitled, [Old Town Commons: The Newest Address in Old Town](http://washingtonexaminer.com/old-town-commons-the-newest-address-in-old-town/article/2513597#.UKZvSIfpeSo).

The article mentions the "kaleidoscope" of colors which comprise the architecture, the walkable amenities like the river and shops, and the quick access to Metro, which is three blocks away.
