 The Reserve at Packer Park is a market rate housing development of 230 homes built 2003-2007.  The Reserve was built on what was formerly a United States naval housing site, and upon the Military Base Closing Act in 1995, the United States government deeded the 27 1/2 acre brownfield property to the City of Philadelphia.

The new luxury townhouses and condominiums were designed for families and is an example of an environmentally adaptive re-use of existing piles and foundations, infrastructure, and materials. The layout preserved existing green areas with large back yards and parks and tot lots.
