Reston

Reston has a fascinating history that dates back to the 18th century when it was owned by Lord Fairfax. In the 1880s, C.A. Wiehle purchased the land and began shaping its future. After the Bowman family, who ran a farm and a bourbon distillery, owned the land for a time, most of it was acquired in 1961 by Robert E. Simon, who aimed to create a well-planned community. Today, Reston is recognized as one of the best family-friendly places in the area, featuring excellent schools, wide parks, walking trails, and a lively array of shops and cultural attractions. This thoughtful planning enhances convenience and fosters a strong community spirit, making it a perfect environment for raising children in a safe and green setting.
