Reston: Robert E. Simon's 1964 Experiment in Planned Living
Reston was developed beginning in 1964 by Robert E. Simon, who purchased the 6,750-acre tract known as Sunset Hills and laid out one of the first master-planned communities in the modern United States. The community's name derives from Simon's initials (R.E.S.), and its design borrowed from European new-town principles that mixed residential, commercial, and recreational uses. Lake Anne Village Center, the first of Reston's planned village centers and the one most associated with Simon's original vision, still stands along the shore of Lake Anne with its Heron House tower and plaza.
The Reston Town Center, built beginning in 1990 around a pedestrian-oriented street grid, operates as a regional downtown with restaurants, offices, a Hyatt Regency, and an outdoor skating rink. Major employers in Reston include Leidos, Booz Allen Hamilton, ICF International, Bechtel, and the National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation. The Silver Line Metro extension reached Reston at the Wiehle-Reston East station in 2014 and Reston Town Center station in 2022.
Reston Association, a private homeowners organization, manages the community's 55 miles of pathways, 15 pools, more than 50 tennis courts, and 1,300 acres of natural open space. The association model was one of Simon's innovations and has been studied by planners since.
