Welcome to National Landing / Potomac Yard / Lynhaven (Potomac West)
Welcome to National Landing, a captivating combination of three bustling neighborhoods Potomac Yard, Pentagon City, and Crystal City. This thriving area has flourished on a steady influx of both public and private investments, propelling its evolution into a dynamic, accessible space that embodies the convenience of a bustling city while preserving the intimate charm reminiscent of small-town living within its enclaves of newer and established neighborhoods.

Nestled between the Richmond Highway (U.S. Route 1) and the George Washington Memorial Parkway, Potomac Yard stands as a testament to integrated urban development. This mixed-use expanse comprises a plethora of retail options, an array of dining options, and a vibrant tapestry of townhomes, condos, apartments, and hotel accommodations. The crown jewel within this development is the city's newest and most expansive park, offering jogging paths, fitness trails, sports courts, picnicking spots, gardens, dog parks, and playgrounds a haven for an active and vibrant community. Potomac Yard is home to the Virginia Tech Innovation Campus, a catalyst for nurturing tech talent poised to drive innovation within Virginia's thriving tech landscape. The inauguration of the new Potomac Yard Metrorail Station in 2023, with yellow and blue line service, enhances accessibility and connectivity within Potomac Yard, further amplifying its appeal.
Just across Route 1 lies the timeless allure of Lynhaven/Potomac West. Many of the homes here were built from the 1940s through the 1960s. Situated between Potomac Yard and Del Ray, this neighborhood, adorned with charming homes, quaint townhouses, and inviting apartments, embodies the essence of Alexandria's heritage, offering a seamless blend of modern convenience and historic charm.
