Reston is one of the country's best-known planned communities, founded in 1964 by Robert E. Simon with the idea that people could live, work and play in one place. Today about 63,000 people live here, among four lakes, more than 55 miles of paths and woods, village centers, Reston Town Center and two Silver Line Metro stations. Reston is not a town of its own. It is part of unincorporated Fairfax County, so homeowners pay Fairfax County taxes and children attend Fairfax County Public Schools.
Reston feels like a park with homes in it. Paths connect neighborhoods to schools, lakes, pools and village centers, so it is easy to get around on foot or by bike. Most homeowners belong to the Reston Association, which cares for the paths, lakes, pools, tennis courts and open space. Add Reston Town Center, the Silver Line and quick access to the Dulles Toll Road, and you get a rare mix of nature and convenience.
Reston has a wide mix of homes: contemporary and colonial single-family homes from the 1960s on, townhome clusters tucked into the woods, garden condos, and high-rise and mid-rise condos near Reston Town Center and the Metro.

The homeowners association that covers most of Reston. It maintains the paths, lakes, pools, tennis courts and open space. Many homes also belong to a smaller cluster association, so ask about both dues before you buy.
