Alexander Point is almost 1.5 km from the marketplace (a 20-minute walk), and is easy to reach in terms of distance, navigation and slope. It's a very pleasant walk from one's hotel to this point as you walk through woods, on a very narrow path over red soil, interacting with green trees. The peak offers good views of other points of the region and the valley below. I will call this point as a bigger version of Sunrise Point (Khandala Point) because it gives the same view as Sunrise Point, but comparatively has ample space. No doubt that it is more crowded as compared to other places because it's quite close to the toy train station. Alexander Point has some snack stalls that serve fresh juice, soda and Maharashtrian snacks to satiate your hunger. During the peak season, there is zip-lining option available from here to Rambaug Point, costing INR 350-500 per head. I am very cautious about the safety measures taken by adventure sports organisers. I saw a few Europeans doing it and they told me that Matheran's zip-lining is quite safe as compared to a few popular tourist destinations in Europe.
