Wide range of condos, single-family homes and new townhouse developments by Reston Station
According to Lagouros, many of the homes in Lake Anne are mid-century modern. Lake Anne's housing has a wide price range, keeping with city planner Robert E. Simon's original vision to include housing for people of all socioeconomic statuses. One-and-two-bed condos here come in Brutalist architectural styles and cost around $250,000, while a waterfront single-family home could run over $1.25 million. Newer developments exist farther south, in the Reston Station area. Marnie Schaar, a Reston local since the 1970s and a Realtor with Compass, says, "There's a lot of apartments and new townhouses built in Reston Station area, with some future developments happening now as well, Isaac Newton Square will be developed soon." These townhouses populate the middle of the price range from around $500,000 to over $800,000.Things to do at Lake Anne
Lake Anne is one of the bigger recreational spaces in Reston. Jordyn Roberts, a social media strategist and Reston native for over ten years, says, "I've seen a lot of people paddleboarding there, and it used to be part of the triathlon. There's usually a polar plunge that's hosted at Lake Anne too." The Lake Anne SUP Triathlon is an annual event where those who compete will run, paddleboard, and ride stationary bikes around the lake. Meanwhile, the Kiwanis Club of Tysons, a volunteer org, hosts the annual Lake Anne Polar Dip, a fundraising event where people can donate to charitable causes and dive into Lake Anne, usually towards the end of winter. Lake Anne's Polar Dip has raised over $1 million dollars in 18 years. The Lake Anne Blue Trail is one of several maintained by the Reston Association, the HOA for much of the area. Residents can access the trail network from all over the neighborhood. The Reston Association also maintains 15 pools in Reston, which residents can access by purchasing a recreation pass. Residents of Lake Anne are close to the Golf Course Island Pool, which also has water play fountains for the kids, a playground, and a grassy picnic area.

Reston Station is a newly-built business park
Lake Anne's neighborhood hosts Reston Station, the community's biggest business park that continues to grow. Reston Station hosts a variety of upscale apartment complexes, restaurants like Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse, and corporate offices like Google Reston. Roberts recalls Reston Station's growth over the last ten years, saying, "I saw it expanding, it's so weird I used to go during high school years ago and only now has it become gigantic and fancy and upscale. It's really cool because there's a lot of jobs and its close to the metro. I wouldn't say it came up from nothing, but it expanded greatly, there's a ton of opportunities for people to work or gather." The Wiehle-Reston East metro station is cradled by Reston Station, allowing commuters to come in and out of town from around the greater D.C. metro area.
Dulles Access Road and Wiehle-Reston East metro station for transit

Residents can also head to the Wiehle-Reston East metro station in the neighborhood's south end to be in D.C. in less than an hour. Take Dulles Access Road 5 miles west from Lake Anne to Dulles International Airport, a major travel hub for the D.C. area.
Check out Lake Anne Plaza for an insulated shopping experience
The Lake Anne Village Center Historic District is the heart of the neighborhood. Centered around its namesake lake, residents can dine and shop at locally-owned restaurants and boutiques on the plaza. Residents can spend Saturday mornings perusing the farmer's market with a cup of locally roasted coffee from Lake Anne Coffee House and Wine Bar in hand. Bring the kids to splash around in the Plaza Fountain. Later, head over in the evenings and sip a Live-Work-Play IPA on the patio at Lake Anne Brew House. Their location on the lake makes it a popular spot for people-watching during the day or watching the sunset in the evening. Many more retail and dining options await at Reston Town Center, located on the western edge of the Lake Anne neighborhood. This city center has everything from name-brand retailers to fitness studios to salons. For grocery necessities, residents can stock their pantries at Harris Teeter or Whole Foods within a 5-minute drive of the center of the neighborhood.
