Preston at Potomac Yard Condos for Sale, Alexandria, VA

The Preston at Potomac Yard is an upscale condominium in Alexandria, Virginia, located directly across from the Potomac Yard Center. Completed in 2005, the brick, concrete and steel four-story complex was redeveloped from an old warehouse but presents a contemporary design with new construction throughout. Located at 181 East Reed Drive at the corner of Jefferson Davis Highway, this handsome development is home to 53 one and two-bedroom residences.

The close proximity to Potomac Yard is certainly one of the calling cards here—the former rail yard has been transformed into a luxury condo and townhouse community with retail, restaurants, entertainment and parks. Another major convenience is on the horizon as well with the Potomac Yard Metro Station slated for completion in 2020. Also, Del Ray is nearby with its delightful indie shops and businesses, as is Old Town Alexandria itself.

Square footage at the Preston at Potomac Yard ranges from around 700 to 1,100. There’s also a rather astonishing 30 different floor plans! The units do share certain characteristics—open space designs, hardwood floors, high ceilings, huge windows and private outdoor spaces. The gourmet kitchens are also worth noting, with granite counters, stainless steel appliances and serving/prep islands, complemented by great room concepts. Also included are front-loading washers and dryers. Most residences have gas fireplaces.

Residents at the Preston at Potomac Yard also enjoy some nice common amenities, including secure underground parking, an elegant lobby, state of the art fitness center, a party room, extra storage, and a great rooftop terrace. There’s nearby green space at Four Mile Run Park, and a convenient shuttle bus to the Braddock Road and Crystal City Metro stations. And of course, the Potomac Yard Metro will soon be finished and just steps away.

Condos for sale at the Preston have recently listed in the mid-$300s to low $400s. The downside is the lack of active inventory at this popular development. That’s no wonder with the nearby Potomac River, great bars and restaurants, and of course, the luxury residences themselves.
