Reston's housing market is diverse, reflecting the founder's original goal to provide housing for all ages and income levels, though modern market forces have made affordability a challenge.
The community features a unique blend of architectural styles. You will find mid-century modern townhomes clustering around Lake Anne, contemporary single-family detached homes nestled deep in the woods of Hunters Woods and North Point, and ultra-modern luxury high-rise condominiums in the Reston Town Center.
Average home prices generally range from $500,000 for smaller townhomes and condos to well over $1 million for larger detached homes or premium lakefront properties. Renting is also highly popular, with numerous apartment complexes ranging from garden-style units to luxury transit-oriented high-rises. Fairfax County and local non-profits continue to work on initiatives to maintain and expand affordable workforce housing within the community.
