Grill & Chill
We closed out September the best way we know how—with good food and even better company! The grills were blazing with burgers, bratwurts, hot dogs, and veggie burgers, plus all the toppings, chips, cookies, raffles, and so many ALX residents joining the fun. A special thanks to AT&T for their support. Thank you to everyone who came out to Grill & Chill and made it such a great night!

"I’ve lived at ALX for the past 14 months, and overall, it has been a great experience. Shelby and the rest of the team have been incredible throughout my entire time here. They’ve always been friendly, professional, responsive, and willing to help whenever I needed anything.
I also want to give a special shoutout to Larry from maintenance. He’s been amazing — always helpful, reliable, and quick to take care of anything that came up.
I really appreciate the entire ALX team and the way they’ve treated me throughout my journey here. It’s the people who make a community, and the team at ALX definitely made my experience a positive one. I would absolutely recommend ALX to anyone looking for a place to call home!"
