Welcome to the
Reston Association!

The Reston Association (RA), located in Reston, Virginia, is one of the largest community associations in the United States. The community, the dream of Mr. Robert E. Simon, got its start in the early 1960’s and today is home to 60,000 + residents who I believe enjoy a quality of life second to none in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

We are located 20 miles west of the nation’s capital and six miles from the Dulles International Airport, in the rapidly growing and technology-rich Dulles Corridor.

RA is a community service organization, with primary responsibility for the design, use and maintenance of covenants for properties in Reston; maintenance of open spaces that encompass 1,350 acres; environmental protection; and recreational and educational activities that range from a wide array of aquatic and tennis programs for all ages to a nationally acclaimed environmental education program that is housed at our 72-acre Walker Nature Education Center. We constantly hear from new and long-time residents alike that “living in Reston is like living in a park”, and we take great pride in our environmental stewardship role that helps to foster this sentiment.

Our website is a true source on the Reston community, and we believe its many features are beneficial to the first time or frequent user. We have features that allow you to sign-up to volunteer, download the design guidelines, and a special E-commerce section offers the convenience of purchasing member pool and tennis passes, checking your account balance, paying your annual assessment, and enrolling for swim lessons and camps. Phase II of the E-commerce section will offer many more opportunities for members and non-members. Through our website, you may also contact the Board of Directors and staff, and please don’t forget to sign our guestbook and share your comments with us.

At the Reston Association, we are constantly in pursuit of our vision of leading the model community where all can live, work, and play. Our efforts are directed by our mission to preserve and enhance the Reston community through outstanding leadership, service, and stewardship of our resources.
