Welcome to Lake Anne Village Center, the historic "heart and soul" of Reston, Virginia. A destination spot for residents and visitors alike, Lake Anne Village Center prides itself on being internationally recognized as one of the finest examples of the modern planned community. Lake Anne architecture has graced the cover of dozens of national and international magazines. Reminiscent of a European coastal village where people live, work and play, this spectacular community nestled around a lake, is one of the few places in Northern Virginia where you can dine or shop or just visit friends, and leave your car behind.

Step back in time. Stop in at the Lakeside Pharmacy, which hosts a quaint U.S Post Office and an old-fashioned lunch counter. Immerse yourself in the history of Reston at the Reston Museum & Shop, which provides detailed insight into the development and growth of Reston through the perceptive eyes of local artists, photographers and authors as well as through the oral histories of Reston’s founders and early residents.

Our consignment and gift shops cater to every whim and interest from children’s clothing and toys to precious estate finds and antiques to jewelry and beauty and bath products and books. Lake Anne Village Center boasts Northern Virginia’s most popular used bookshop, with 33,000 volumes in over 80 subjects. Are you in need of a little well-deserved self-indulgence? Lake Anne’s barbershop, nail and hair salons are here to pamper you. Banking and real estate services are also available for your convenience. Are you hungry? Savor the ever-enticing aromas wafting from the many cuisines offered by the restaurants and cafes that circle Lake Anne Plaza. Enjoy one of their many fine cuisines and stay for a wine tasting or concert. Relax and enjoy a cappuccino or cup of tea at the local coffee house.

Mingle with crowds at the Saturday morning Farmers’ Market from May to November. Feast your eyes on local fresh produce, fragrant flowers and herbs, and homemade pastries and breads - and don’t forget a warm bag of kettle corn. Satisfy your cultural appetite, too... Lake Anne Village Center hosts a multitude of artistic and musical events. Watch the many and varied performances of our street artists. Rent a paddle boat, kayak or canoe for a leisurely excursion around beautiful Lake Anne. Celebrate at one of the many festivals and special events that take place on the plaza each year. Dance, dine or just sit and relax while listening to live concerts during the summer. Indulge your spirit by browsing through our art galleries.
