McNair
Suburban Neighborhood in Reston, Virginia
Fairfax County 20171
Townhouses and condos dominate the market
Renters and buyers both have options in McNair. The majority of homes in the area are townhouses and condos built in the last 20 years, many of which are in McNair Farms. McNair Farms is a planned community with apartments, condos, townhouses and single-family houses. Inventory can be limited, and townhouses with garages on the ground level are typically priced between the upper $500,000 and $700,000. Condos start in the upper $200,000s for one bedroom and range up to $600,000 for a luxury two-bedroom unit. "It's more affordable to stay in Herndon than places like Reston, Tyson or Arlington. You get a lot more square footage for your price compared to Arlington," Chawla says. "Plus, you're not paying association dues on top of HOA and condo association fees."

Arrowbrook Centre Park and Dulles Station Community Park

The neighborhood also has several more pocket parks and playgrounds scattered throughout. Just north of McNair, locals can perfect their swing on the fairways of Herndon Centennial Golf Course or hop on the Washington and Old Dominion Trail, a 45-mile regional trail system for bikers and hikers.A-rated Fairfax County Public Schools

Concerts at Arrowbrook Center Park and the Udvar-Hazy Center
The community gathers on Saturdays in the summer for free concerts at Arrowbrook Centre Park. Families can bring their lawn chairs and blankets to kick back on warm nights at the park's pavilion and listen to music genres from jazz to rock. Just south of McNair, the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly has two massive hangars with dozens of airplanes on display and space and aviation exhibits educating visitors on the history of flying, including military aviation efforts through U.S. wars, commercial aircraft and space exploration. The museum also hosts story times for kids, talks from scientists, pilots and astronauts, and special events.Two metro stations transport residents
McNair has two Metro stations nearby: Innovation Center Metro Station and Herndon Metro Station. Both stations are on the Silver Line, and many residents are within walking distance. "The best part about the Silver Line is that it also goes to Dulles Airport, Tysons Corner, D.C. and Arlington," Chawla says. Drivers can also take Route 267 into D.C. Some commuters, however, stay in McNair for work, with office parks such as Dulles Corner. "The area has a lot of government and private offices that require security clearance," Chawla says. Reston Hospital Center is also about 4 miles east of McNair.
