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?

greaterrestonliving A 60-year-old zoning decision is at the center of the latest push to build townhomes on Reston’s most talked-about piece of land. 🏘️ Reston National Golf Course has been a battleground for over a decade. The owners paid nearly $24 million for the property back in 2019, and the community has pushed back every time a redevelopment proposal has surfaced. ⠀ This latest move is different, though. Rather than asking for a new approval, the ownership is arguing that a 1966 zoning decision already gives them the right to build 288 townhomes on roughly 14 acres of the course, without a full rezoning or a comprehensive plan amendment. ⠀ Fairfax County planners are reviewing whether that argument holds up legally. Hunter Mill Supervisor Walter Alcorn has said he won’t support any change without broad community consensus. The county also removed the golf course from its 2025 planning work program, which should have slowed things down. But the developers say they intend to keep pressing this interpretation regardless. ⠀ If you live in South Reston, especially anywhere backing up to that course along Colts Neck Road, this is worth following closely. Property values, open space, and the character of those neighborhoods are all part of the conversation. 🌳 Rescue Reston has been active on this issue for years and is a good resource if you want to stay informed. Because this is a legal and planning matter rather than a standard public hearing, the timeline is harder to predict than usual. Check the Fairfax County planning portal or Rescue Reston’s updates for the latest. 📋 #RestonVA #FairfaxCounty #RestonNational #SouthReston ⠀ Looking to make a move in Northern Virginia?

greaterrestonliving Breaking news for Fairfax County: Governor Abigail Spanberger has vetoed the bill that would have opened the door for a casino in Tysons. The proposal would have made Fairfax County eligible for a casino and eventually could have led to a voter referendum, but that path stops here for now. ⠀
Big local takeaway: this matters far beyond one development site. The debate touched Tysons, Reston, Vienna, and the wider county because it raised bigger questions about traffic, growth, local control, and what kind of future residents want for this part of Northern Virginia. 🏛️ ⠀
The governor said local governing boards should lead decisions like this, and Fairfax County leaders had already voiced opposition. For neighbors who were worried about a casino changing the direction of Tysons, this veto will feel significant. For people who supported the idea as an economic driver, it is a clear setback. 🎰 ⠀
Who is this for? Anyone who lives, works, commutes, or owns a business in Fairfax County, especially in Tysons, Reston, and nearby areas. What to expect next is more conversation around redevelopment, economic growth, and what projects should shape Tysons going forward. Nothing about this issue disappears overnight, but this specific bill is done. 📰 ⠀
For now, this is one of the biggest local development stories of the year, and it could influence how future projects are discussed across Fairfax County. #TysonsVA #RestonVA #FairfaxCountyVA #ViennaVA Looking to make a move in Northern Virginia? Text or DM me:

greaterrestonliving Comment “Crossing” below and I’ll send you the full listing details, photos, and price. 🏡 ⠀ This 4-bedroom end-unit townhome in Manassas checks a lot of boxes that are genuinely hard to find together at this price point. Natural light pours in from three sides, the kitchen is large with stainless appliances and a granite island, and the family room is the kind of space that just feels comfortable to be in. There is a full bedroom with its own en suite on the ground level, three more generous bedrooms upstairs, and the laundry is conveniently on the same floor as the bedrooms. A garage comes with it, which is not always a given in this range. ⠀ Step outside onto the maintenance-free deck and the view is all trees. A path leads into the woods and down to a creek. 🌿 The community also has a pool and tennis court. Here is the detail that makes this one worth a closer look: the condo fee is just $150 a month, covering the roof, siding, and lawn. For a 4-bedroom townhome, that kind of low-maintenance living is genuinely rare. ⠀ One practical note: homes in this community tend to move quickly, so if this catches your eye, it is worth reaching out sooner rather than later. A showing can be arranged directly through the listing. ⠀ Comment “Crossing” below and I’ll send everything your way. 👇 #manassasrealestate #pwcrealestate #northernvirginiahomes #manassasva ⠀ Looking to make a move in Northern Virginia?
