The beating heart of Reston

Developer Robert E. Simon designed the layout of Reston, devising planned residential neighborhoods connected to a thriving downtown area that incorporated the best parts of cities and suburbs. Today, the neighborhood of Reston Town Center serves as that bustling downtown district, with mixed-use developments making up a retail-heavy city center on a grid, with wide sidewalks and Italian-style piazzas that encourage residents to sit and stay awhile. Events are held regularly at the Fountain Plaza and Pavilion. “It’s super walkable,” says Nikki Lagouros, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway. “If you want access to city living and still be in Reston, Reston Town Center is your best bet.”

Name-brand shops and high-end dining a walk from home

Reston Town Center is the epitome of the town’s “live, work, and play” motto. Brand names like Apple, Anthropologie, Lululemon and J. Crew are intermingled with local boutiques, and new restaurants pop up frequently enough to keep things interesting. Jordyn Roberts, a social media strategist and Reston native for over ten years says, “I usually eat at Reston Town Center; there’s a lot of fine dining over there, some affordable spots too. I like to go to Buffalo Wing Factory from there.” Buffalo Wing Factory is less than a mile south of Reston Town Center and offers a variety of wings to order with curly fries and draft beers. On Tuesdays, head to a free group fitness class at the Pavilion hosted by a local fitness studio. Bartaco is within the town center and offers tacos and burritos with handcrafted cocktails. Harris Teeter and Trader Joe’s are within a five-minute drive for groceries. Roberts notes that a new Wegmans recently opened on Reston Parkway, less than a mile south.

W&OD Trail connects pedestrians to greater northern Virginia

Although Reston Town Center’s main draw is city living, one of the area’s most famous nature trails cuts through the neighborhood. The historic Washington and Old Dominion Trail, commonly called “the W&OD,” was built on the former Washington & Old Dominion Railroads and now runs 45 miles through northern Virginia. Reston sits at the 18-mile mark, so there’s plenty of space to explore it from both directions. The Reston Association also maintains 55 miles of walking trails within the area – pick up the green trail at Fountain Square and follow it just under a mile and a half to Lake Anne to rent a boat or have a bite by the water. For a more substantial day exploring nature, hop in the car and head to Lake Fairfax Park, just 10 minutes away. In addition to the boating and fishing opportunities at the lake, there are plenty of trails to walk or bike, a skate park, a carousel and a local attraction, The Water Mine, a Wild-West-themed waterpark.

Holiday cheer and summer concerts in Reston Town Center

Reston’s annual events usually gravitate around Reston Town Center; as Roberts mentions, “There’d be parades at Reston Town Center during Christmas time and the holidays. That’s usually the hub for the events. I used to go ice skating at RTC too.” For winter months, the Reston Holiday Parade runs through Market Street and includes caroling, a tree lighting, and pictures with Santa. Catch a summer concert here on the weekend, or attend Second Saturdays, which offers live music, activities for kids, vendors, and food.
