I absolutely loved the time I spent at Avalon Poto...

I absolutely loved the time I spent at Avalon Potomac Yard. You probably don t want to be bored and read through an essay of a review so I ll touch on the points I found most important.

Location: With Alexandria in my opinion, being the center point of the DMV, it was too convenient to drive, order a ride, bike, and take the metro to my final destination. Uber/Lyfts were around 12 dollars to DC, and my commute to work was great due to the ease of access to major highways and transiting areas. And whenever I had to go to the airport, I could practically bike there. Not to mention the convenience of living right next door to a grocery store and a shopping center.

Staff: One of the friendliest and quickest management/maintenance teams I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with. The front office team was always so friendly and attentive, they were great! The maintenance team always completed my service requests the same day and were always checking up on the residents asking if everything was alright. I couldn t say enough great things about the team working here.

Apartment: Pretty prime apartment spaces and the amenities were all you would need. The pool could be a little bigger, but I never used it so I don t have much to complain about.

Parking: You do have to pay a garage fee, but its worth it since it is climate controlled and keeps your vehicle safe from the elements. It is possible to park on the street without having to pay as well, but if you want to keep your car looking good, I suggest buying into the parking garage.

Overall: I absolutely loved my stay, my only warning would be the price for the units. But in the DMV, and especially in this area, you get what you pay for, and the Avalon at Potomac Yard is money well spent!
