Reston

Centered on Lake Anne, Reston developed into one of the United States’ earliest large-scale planned communities, founded in 1964 by Robert E. Simon Jr. In Fairfax County, northern Virginia, its original Lake Anne Village Center was designed by architect James Rossant and retains the pedestrian-focused modernism of the town’s first phase. Reston’s plan brought homes, shops, schools and open land together in connected neighborhoods rather than isolated districts. A chain of man-made lakes and wooded paths gives the community a green suburban character, while the Washington & Old Dominion Trail passes through Fairfax County nearby.
