community, shopping center, shopping plaza, NRHP - National Register of Historic Places, residential neighborhood, historic district
There are a variety of lakeside cafes here, along with a variety of other stores and shops. The plaza used to be the site of the Reston Festival and other things before the Reston Town Center was built in the early to mid 1990s.
Canoes and paddle boats are available to rent by the hour.
If you are a fan of contemporary/modern architecture, you will find Lake Anne Plaza and the immediate areas (easily reached by paved pathways) to be a real treat. These structures are not simply for "show", they have been real lived-in homes now for over 40
years -- and they are still strikingly innovative. In early 2017, not long after celebrating its 50th birthday, Lake Anne's unique architecture and status as one of America's earliest mixed-use planned communities was recognized by the United States Department of the Interior with an official listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). It enjoys the status of "historic district" on the Register.
Reston's founder, Robert E. Simon, spent the last third of his life residing in a unit in Heron House, the 16-story high-rise located toward the south end of the village. Simon passed away in 2015 at the age of 101.
