The Reserve at Potomac Yard Apartments in Alexandria, VA offers a convenient location just five minutes from Washington, DC with easy access to major highways and the Potomac Yard Shopping Center. The community provides a private shuttle to the nearby Metro station. Residents enjoy spacious apartment layouts with bay or floor-to-ceiling windows, in-unit washers and dryers, and walk-in closets. Amenities include a fitness center, pool, and bike trail. Reviewers generally had a positive experience living at The Reserve. The apartments were described as well-maintained and the leasing office and maintenance staff as responsive to resident needs. The location was praised for its proximity to DC, the airport, Old Town, and other local attractions. However, some residents noted issues with the mandatory valet trash service, as some tenants did not follow the rules, as well as concerns about the dog run's surface being changed from dirt to pebbles, making it less dog-friendly. Overall, the community received high praise, with one long-term resident regretfully moving out due to financial reasons but recommending the apartments to others. New residents also highlighted the excellent customer service provided by leasing staff members like Parwin, Nathan, and Alyscia, who went above and beyond to ensure a smooth move-in process.
Outstanding apartment management! Clean and spacious for the $$$ with easy access to the Metro.

Loved the safety and felt secure in my self guided tour of the apartment and the community. Fell in love with both apartments I saw.

Been living here for almost a year now and it’s been great. Very quiet and well kept community. Rental office management and team members are very helpful and responsive. Would highly recommend this community to others.
