Yacht Haven, located between the George Washington Memorial Parkway and the Potomac River, is a waterfront and residential Mount Vernon neighborhood with marina slips and riverfront trails. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Mount Vernon Yacht Club docks and the marina drive, where boat ramps, rigging areas, and a steady rhythm of masts set the tone. Low-slung waterfront buildings and practical marina structures define the streetscape more than storefront blocks. The shoreline reads as working recreation, with kayaks, sailboats, and fishing gear as everyday scenery. Nearby river paths frame long views across the Potomac and link to parkland landscapes.
