Great value and location

This apartment is a great value for two to three bedroom units. It is perfect for students looking to live further from campus.

There are several different types of transportation available. The new Potomac Yard metro station will be across the street from this apartment and will be on the blue and yellow lines. Buses in National Landing run frequently and have their own lanes, so unlike buses in the city, they are efficient and typically on time. Driving to GW campus is an easy straight shot down the highway, and parking in the apartment garage is relatively cheap. There are two Capital Bikeshare stations by the complex, and bike and running trails right next door can take you all the way into D.C. The apartment is also close to Reagan National Airport.

Avalon Potomac Yard is very dog-friendly! There are lots of dogs in the complex, and you will run into pets every time that you are outside.

A downside of this apartment is the thin walls. The noise level will vary by unit, so be sure to tour beforehand.

Luxurious Amenities

I love this place! While I'm in one of the smaller one bedrooms the layout is spacious is enough for all of my furniture and for me and my Boxer. The location is perfect for a 10-15 drive to amazing shops, restaurants, and nightlife in Downtown DC. There are two metro stations nearby and walkable access to the Metro Bus and the Metroway bus.

I love the neighborhood. Although Old Town is in the suburbs, it feels like like a mini city, and almost everywhere I want to go is within walking distance. There are great restaurants and bars a few blocks, we're close to the river, there are multiple parks nearby. There is a Whole Foods a block away from my building, and it takes me less than 10 minutes to walk to the King Street Metro station. I also have a dog, and there are so many dog parks and dog-friendly businesses in the area.

Pros:
- Safe, nearby grocery store, pet friendly, pool, close to restaurants, diverse in income types and styles of homes, etc.

Cons: Section 8 housing, a lot of people for a tiny pool.
Reviewed by Anonymous living at Meridian at Braddock Station
Lots of new development populated by yuppies and hip new businesses/restaurants, mixed in with pockets of section-8 housing and shady groups of people walking the streets.

Absolutely love it. So many friendly people and fun restaurants, coffee shops, stores, etc. Feels like you are apart of a community and very easy to meet people.

Public transportation is excellent. Really don't need a car. Holmes Run Park great for running and bicycling. Restaurants, shopping and malls within 5 miles.

Close to DC and other Virginia cities... good public transport... not as young and fratty as Arlington but still plenty of social opportunities... Love it

This is an awesome area. It is lots of fun to explore and a nice change from being in the city for school all the time.

Old Town is great! So many restaurants, bars, shopping, parks, and hiking. Easy to walk to all the shops on King Street, and super close (walkable) to two metro stops, Braddock Road and King Street. Commute to Foggy Bottom via metro is only about 30 minutes, and it is a straight trip on the blue line from Braddock Road to Foggy Bottom-GWU.
