A pioneering planned community with Town Center living, lakeside trails, and new Silver Line Metro access. Reston balances nature and convenience like nowhere else in Northern Virginia.
Reston is one of America's original planned communities, founded in 1964 by developer Robert E. Simon with a vision of creating a self-contained community where people could live, work, and play surrounded by nature. That vision has aged remarkably well. Today Reston is home to over 60,000 residents who enjoy more than 1,350 acres of open space, 80 miles of pathways, four man-made lakes, and a vibrant town center that serves as the community's urban core.
Reston Town Center is the commercial and social heart of the community, a walkable district of shops, restaurants, offices, and public spaces that hosts a year-round calendar of events including an ice skating rink, outdoor concerts, and a farmers market. Lake Anne, the original village center designed to evoke a European waterfront plaza, offers a quieter, artistically inclined counterpoint with galleries, cafes, and the annual Reston Multicultural Festival. The W&OD Trail, a 45-mile rail trail stretching from Arlington to Purcellville, runs directly through Reston and connects cyclists and runners to communities across Northern Virginia.
The Silver Line Metro has added two stations in Reston, dramatically improving transit access to Tysons Corner, Arlington, downtown DC, and Dulles Airport. This has spurred new residential and mixed-use development near the stations while the established neighborhoods maintain their wooded, parklike character. Whether you want a modern condo near Town Center, a townhome on a tree-lined cluster street, or a single-family home backing to forest trails, Reston offers a quality of life that is hard to match in the DC metro area.
