With interiors styled by MORADA Haute Furniture Boutique, Aria Reserve boasts 782 residences, ranging from one to four bedrooms and spanning 1,100 to 2,600 square feet.

Beyond its thoughtfully designed residences, Aria Reserve offers an array of luxury amenities, including a 2-acre recreation deck with a semi-Olympic-sized lap pool, whirlpool spa, children's splash pad, teen lounge, and gaming center. Sports enthusiasts can indulge in tennis, basketball, paddle courts, miniature golf, and a comprehensive indoor-outdoor wellness center. The meticulously landscaped amenity deck by ArquitectonicaGEO completes the vision for Aria Reserve, promising to redefine Edgewater as a hub of unparalleled luxury and sophistication.
