Reston: Pkwy - NB - at Sunset Hills Rd
Reston has served as a planned community in Northern Virginia since the 1960s. Created by developer Robert E. Simon, it was conceived as an alternative to conventional postwar suburbia, with homes, workplaces, shops and green space intended to coexist. Lake Anne, an artificial lake at the community’s original center, is framed by Lake Anne Plaza, whose modernist buildings and waterfront layout reflect Reston’s founding vision. Reston spreads across Fairfax County’s rolling Piedmont terrain within the Potomac River watershed, while the Washington and Old Dominion Trail follows a former railroad corridor along its southern side. Village centers, offices and residential neighborhoods make it one of the region’s best-known planned communities.

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.

Among the regions of the United States, Virginia stands out for its sweep from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Chesapeake Bay. Its varied terrain includes the Shenandoah Valley, the Piedmont of the central counties, and a long Atlantic-facing coast. Richmond, on the James River, is Virginia’s capital and a major centre of American Civil War history; farther east, Jamestown was the site of England’s first permanent settlement in North America, founded in 1607. Shenandoah National Park and its Skyline Drive trace the crest of the Blue Ridge. Move on to other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around Virginia.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
