Tall Oaks/Uplands
Lake Fairfax is right next to home, with the Water Mine waterpark for summer months
Lake Fairfax Park is the neighborhood's centerpiece, encompassing 476 acres of parkland. Spend a few hours out on the lake kayaking, available for rent on-site, or fish right from the dock. Walk or bike the trails or head to the skate park. Kids can ride the carousel, and the whole family can rent a campsite to sleep under dense tree canopies. There's even a Wild West-themed water park, the Water Mine Family Swimmin' Hole, with slides, floats, flumes, and a lazy river. The local HOA, the Reston Association, maintains 15 pools throughout Reston, all available for residents who have purchased the recreation pass. The Uplands pool has two dedicated lap lanes, interactive water play fountains, and a splash pad for the kids. There's also the option to take group or private tennis lessons here on one of four courts. The Tall Oaks pool features diving boards and reaches 12 feet deep. Nearby is the Blue Trail, part of 55 miles of trails that the Reston Association maintains. Take it to the end of the line, almost 3.5 miles away, through the Hidden Creek Country Golf Course, the Lake Anne Village Center historic district, past Lake Newport, and finally ending at the North Point Village Center, granting simple pedestrian access throughout greater Reston.North Point Village Center and Reston Town Center for retail options
North Point Village Center is a frequently visited area for homeowners in the Uplands portion of the neighborhood, just a mile west in neighboring North Reston. North Point Village Center is anchored by Giant for groceries and other options from banking to cafes to ice cream shops. The Plaza America is one of the closest retail destinations in the southern half of the neighborhood, offering conveniences like Whole Foods Market, Michaels, CVS, Total Wine, and Gold's Gym. For more serious shopping, residents are always minutes away from Reston's flagship shopping district, Reston Town Center, providing both name-brand and locally-owned boutiques with dining options for all palettes.A brief drive from Wolf Trap, or the NOVA Wild zoo right at home
Tall Oaks/Uplands residents are 7 miles from Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts, a large outdoor venue. Jordyn Roberts, a social media strategist and Reston native for over ten years, says, "Can't forget Wolf Trap; it's so nice there. They have kid and adult shows all the time, so it's family friendly." Wolf Trap hosts concerts, dance troupes, opera, standup comedy and many other live events. Within Tall Oaks is NOVA Wild, a zoo with a hayride, bird sanctuary, and a farm animals section for petting and feeding animals.Many single-family homes, with condos and townhomes in Reston Station
According to Nikki Lagouros, real estate agent with Berkshire Hathaway, there's a range of options for homebuyers. "Tall Oaks is an older part of Reston, with houses built in the late '60s and early '70s, but they also put a new construction portion with Stanley Martin, so it's all interwoven," she says. "Uplands, like around Ring Road, has contemporary midcentury modern homes. Homebuyers will find a range of options, starting from one-to-two-bedroom condos, which cost around $280,000 and peak at $2 million for a four-bedroom single-family home overlooking dense parkland. There are also new townhomes and condos in the Reston Station area in the neighborhood's south, built within the last ten years and right next to some of Reston's major employers like Google.Fairfax County Public Schools are never far from Reston residents

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
