greaterrestonliving Virginia just set a new condo record, and it happened in Reston. 🏙️ ⠀ The penthouse at the JW Marriott Residences at Reston Station sold for $10.25 million in early April, nearly doubling the previous Virginia record of $5.65 million set in Rosslyn in 2024. The buyer combined two 27th-floor units into one home spanning 5,768 square feet inside, plus a 2,008-square-foot private balcony. The same buyer also picked up a 24th-floor unit for $1.5 million separately. ⠀ For anyone watching this market, the number alone is significant. But the bigger story is who is choosing Reston now. Buyers at this price point have options anywhere. This one chose here. ⠀ The JW Marriott Residences is a 28-story tower at Reston Row, near the Silver Line at Reston Station. It holds 93 private residences above Virginia’s first JW Marriott hotel. Every unit has 10-foot floor-to-ceiling windows, a private balcony, and quartzite countertops. Resident amenities on the 25th floor include a lounge and bar, board room, rooftop grilling areas, a dog park, and a private fitness center. Units start around $1.4M for a 1-bedroom-plus-den and reach $3.4M for a 3-bedroom. About 34 of 93 units have sold. 🔑 ⠀ #RestonRealEstate #RestonStation #NorthernVirginiaRealEstate #LuxuryCondoNOVA ⠀ Looking to make a move in Northern Virginia?

greaterrestonliving Lake Anne has been the heart of Reston since 1965, and now a design firm wants to change how people find it. StreetSense just unveiled a full wayfinding concept for the plaza, and the community response has been split. Some residents are ready for anything that pulls more people to one of Reston’s most undervisited gems. Others think the existing sign is part of what makes Lake Anne, Lake Anne. There’s also a harder truth underneath the debate: there are people who lived in Reston for two decades and never once made it down to the waterfront. The new signage system is designed to fix exactly that. We cover the proposal, the pushback, and the broader question of how Reston balances preservation with progress. Plus: the spring event calendar is filling up fast, and a wave of new restaurants is heading to Reston Town Center this summer. New episode out now.

greaterrestonliving If renting in the Herndon and Reston area is starting to feel like a dead end, this is the kind of condo that makes ownership feel a lot more doable. This one is a 1-bedroom, 1-bath home at Bryson at Woodland Park in Herndon, close to the Herndon-Monroe Metro, everyday shopping, and just about 8 minutes from Dulles. ✈️🏡 ⠀�Comment “BRYSON” and I’ll send over the listing details and pricing. ⠀�What stands out here is how much has already been done. The full bath has been renovated, the kitchen has been updated with stainless steel appliances, and the overall feel is clean, current, and truly move-in ready. Big-ticket items have been replaced in the last two years, including the refrigerator, microwave, washer/dryer, and hot water tank, with newer wood floors, paint, blinds, and ceiling fans adding to that easy, low-stress feel. ⠀�Locally, this matters because convenience is a big part of daily life out here. You can walk to Harris Teeter, a coffee shop, and a brew pub, and still have quick access to Metro, the Toll Road, and the airport. For first-time buyers, commuters, and anyone who wants to stop throwing money at rent, this is the kind of setup that makes sense. ☕🚆 ⠀�What to expect: a gated community, pool, fitness center, assigned parking, and a location that keeps you connected to both Herndon and Reston. One practical tip is to ask about the parking setup and condo fee details before your tour so you understand exactly what is included. Another is to visit around your usual commute time if Metro access or airport proximity is high on your list. 📍 ⠀�Would you trade a little extra square footage for a place that feels this updated and this convenient? ⠀� #HerndonVA #RestonVA #SilverLineLiving #DullesCorridor ⠀�Comment “BRYSON” and I’ll send you the full listing info. ⠀�Looking to make a move in Northern Virginia?

greaterrestonliving Water views in Reston can run well over a million dollars. This one is under $700k. 🌊 Comment the word POND below and I’ll send the full listing details straight to your inbox automatically. There is a townhome tucked into Links Pond Cluster that backs directly to the pond on Reston National Golf Course. Three bedrooms, four baths, and a back patio that opens up to open water and fairway views. It is the kind of setting that usually comes with a very different price tag. The home has been fully refreshed inside. New flooring and paint throughout, updated lighting, brand new stainless appliances in the kitchen, and a renovated upper level bath. The lower level adds bonus living space, a walk-in shower, and extra storage that is hard to find at this price point. Links Pond is also one of those clusters where people settle in and stay. Quiet streets, neighbors who know each other, and that original Reston sense of community still intact. 🏘️ If you are curious about timing, this one is listed as Coming Soon, so now is a good window to reach out before it hits the active market. #restonrealestate #restonva #restonnationalgolfcourse #fairfaxcountyhomes Comment POND below and I’ll send you everything. 📬 Looking to make a move in Northern Virginia?

greaterrestonliving 3 bedrooms. Ground floor. Steps from the Wiehle Metro and Lake Fairfax Park. This one is worth knowing about. ⠀ Comment “Grove” and I’ll send you the full listing details straight to your DMs. Chestnut Grove is one of Reston’s original condo communities, built in 1972, and it doesn’t get talked about enough. The location is genuinely hard to beat. Lake Fairfax Park is right there, 476 acres with hiking and biking trails, paddle boats, and open fields. The W&OD Trail connects you to Reston Town Center and runs for miles in either direction. 🚴 ⠀ The unit itself is 1,330 square feet with a refreshed primary bath, new carpet in the bedrooms, fresh paint throughout, and a private patio off the main living area. One of the more practical details: condo fees cover all utilities, so your monthly costs are more predictable than most. 🏡 ⠀ This is a ground-floor unit, which makes it a realistic option for anyone who doesn’t want stairs, and the location near Wiehle puts you within walking distance of Silver Line service into DC and beyond. 🚇 ⠀ A few things worth knowing: the building allows pets, there is assigned parking, and the property falls within the South Lakes High School pyramid in Fairfax County Public Schools. ⠀ If you have been watching Reston’s condo market, three-bedroom units at this price point near transit are uncommon. Worth a closer look if the location fits your life. ⠀ Comment “Grove” and I’ll send you the full listing details. ✉️ ⠀ #restonrealestate #restoncondos #restonva #northernvirginiarealestate ⠀ Looking to make a move in Northern Virginia?
