Years of cleanup and stalled plans eventually gave way to real progress, as the prime piece of real estate was transformed into an upscale community with shopping, entertainment, walking paths, and a large park with playgrounds, athletic courts, rock climbing, and an interactive fountain.
Potomac Yard is in the City of Alexandria, just south of the Arlington border, and next-door to Old Town North. Richmond Highway is to the west, and George Washington Memorial Parkway is to the east.
