Lake Anne Neighborhoods

Lake Anne is home to Reston’s earliest established community. In addition to the spirited Lake Anne Plaza, Lake Anne features a wide selection of tasty eateries, local boutiques, paddleboat and kayak rentals, and quiet residential neighborhoods. 

The Hidden Creek Country Club, found in the centrally located Lake Anne community, is home to award-winning Ed Ault Signature Golf Course, tennis courts, clubhouse, and fitness center.
