Reston’s original village, Lake Anne, was founded in 1964 and is centrally located to ensure residents are within walking distance of various locally owned shops and service providers at the Lake Anne Village Center.
There are several very distinct neighborhoods situated within Lake Anne, such as Hickory Cluster, a community of cubist townhomes designed by renowned architect Charles M. Goodman. Washington Plaza is another unique neighborhood including The Towns on Chimney House Road townhomes that look out over Lake Anne, and the exceptional single-family homes on Chimney House Road that are known for their distinctive chimneys and spacious floor plans.

Properties here have as many as 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, updated kitchens and bathrooms, skylights, fireplaces, and large decks that overlook nature. Certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat, over half of Bentana Park is designated as common areas with tons of trees, open grass, and tot lots.

South Lakes Village is a prime location for Reston real estate, thanks to the village’s two expansive lakes, Thoreau and Audobon, and its array of condos, townhomes, and single-family homes that offer outstanding views of the water. Harbor Point is just one of the condo communities that sits on Lake Thoreau and includes 1- and 2-bedroom floor plans. Buyers interested in townhomes will want to check out the spacious options at Chadds Ford Cluster and Westcove Cluster built by famed builder Warren Katx, who seamlessly blends the indoors with the outdoors.
Buyers who prefer a single-family residence on the lake will be impressed by the options on Purple Beech Drive, Halyard Lane, and Cutwater Court. Featuring unique, contemporary designs, walls of windows, and endless upgrades, these homes are truly spectacular.
