greaterrestonliving 💬 Comment “Lake” and I’ll send you all of the details. They call this neighborhood The Shores for a reason. Just 22 homes share this peaceful stretch of Lake Audubon in Reston, where water views are part of everyday life. This 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom townhome offers nearly 2,500 square feet across three levels, with lake views from almost every room. You’ll find two decks and a walk-out patio overlooking the water, plus a private boat slip ready for a pontoon, kayak, or paddleboard. Inside, recent updates include refinished hardwood floors, new Stainmaster carpet, stainless steel appliances, Andersen windows and doors, and a freshly painted exterior. From here, you can stroll to the neighborhood pool or walk to South Lakes Village Center for coffee, dinner, or a quick errand. And of course, Reston’s miles of trails, pickleball and tennis courts, and community events are all part of the lifestyle. 💬 Comment “Lake” and I’ll send you all of the details.

greaterrestonliving Did you see (or hear) it? 👀✈️ 
An F-15 Eagle just roared over Reston before touching down at Dulles — but it’s not here for a combat mission. It’s getting a permanent home at the Smithsonian’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. This newly accessioned fighter jet will taxi straight from Dulles into the museum’s collection, joining an incredible lineup of historic aircraft you can see up close.

greaterrestonliving Comment “deck” for all the listing details. This authentic mid-century modern Deck House in Reston lives like part of the landscape—post-and-beam structure, tongue-and-groove cedar wrapping ceilings and floors, and oversized windows that make light feel built-in. Sliding glass doors blur the line between inside and out, turning everyday living into a nature-connected experience. The backyard is a private 1.2-acre retreat: a heated freeform pool tucked among layered trees, fenced play space, and long views that feel like your own secret resort, yet you’re minutes from Reston Town Center, the Silver Line, and the region’s trail network. No HOA, but you’re still steps from the walking and biking paths that tie Reston together. Would you start your morning with coffee on the deck or unwind in that backyard oasis? Share with someone who lives for mid-century modern vibes. This listing is courtesy of Lou Ann Armstrong with RE/MAX Gateway. Comment deck for all the listing details.

greaterrestonliving Pizza boxes, duct tape, and summer bragging rights—nothing says “Reston” like the Cardboard Boat Regatta at Lake Anne! 🚣‍♂️📦 Mark your calendar for August 9 and watch local schools, scout troops, and community teams paddle their homemade masterpieces across the water.

Could your boat survive the splash test? Share this video with a friend who loves a good DIY challenge and tell us what you’d build in the comments! #greaterrestonliving #cardboardboatregatta #cardboardboat #cardboardboatrace Looking to make a move in Northern Virginia?

greaterrestonliving 🚧 Big changes are brewing at Isaac Newton Square! The aging office park just north of Reston Station (yep—the one across from the Wiehle Ave McDonald’s 🍔) is transforming into a walk-able, mixed-use neighborhood with: • ~2,100 new homes (apartments + modern 4-story townhomes) 🏘️
• Retail, a boutique hotel, and fresh office space 🛍️
• A lighted turf athletic field and amphitheater for weekend leagues & concerts ⚽🎶
• New street connections and thousands of garage spots to tame future traffic 🚗
• Proffers aimed at easing school crowding 📚 Latest milestone: a 345-unit apartment block just cleared its final zoning hurdle, and a new plan for 143 townhomes—some back-to-back designs unique to Fairfax—dropped this month. Construction could kick off as early as next year, so now’s the time to weigh in: will this revive an underused corner of Reston or add more cars to your commute? Sound off in the comments, share this post with a friend who battles Wiehle Ave every morning, and stay tuned for more hyper-local updates on the places we live, work, and play. 🌳✨ #greaterrestonliving Looking to make a move in Northern Virginia?

greaterrestonliving 🍕 Detroit-style squares have landed in Herndon! Growing up on fold-and-flop Jersey slices, I was skeptical—but Jet’s Pizza at 905 Herndon Pkwy delivers a caramelized crunch, airy center, and those cupped-pepperoni pools we all secretly crave. 🤤 Here’s the insider scoop before you snag a square:
• Grab the Eight-Corner Pepperoni for the ultimate cheese-to-crust ratio.
• Say yes to the buttery garlic “Turbo Crust” upgrade—worth every calorie.
• Ranch dunk = chef’s kiss.
• Call ahead on Friday nights; these pans disappear fast. Location perks? Just five minutes from downtown Herndon and around the corner from Worldgate. Perfect post-Friday Night Live fuel or a reward after a W&OD trail ride. 🚴‍♂️ So… does Jet’s earn a spot in your 703 pizza rotation, or are you sticking with the neighborhood pie? Drop your verdict below and share this with a friend who never skips pizza night! Looking to make a move in Northern Virginia? Text or DM me:
