About the Plaza

Lake Anne was the first village center built as part of Robert E. Simon's planned community. Today the Plaza sits in a Historic Overlay District, and is home to a diverse and vibrant community. Residents of the Lake Anne Village area, and Reston as a whole, are committed to local living and to supporting independently owned businesses. In fact, only independently owned business operate at Lake Anne—there are no corporate chains here. This creates a unique flavor and a truly great community spirit.
