Reston's housing market shows a real, moderate cross-source spread this research pass ($592,450-$660,750 depending on source and methodology), against a backdrop of genuine Dulles-tech-corridor employment demand and Booz Allen Hamilton's planned fall-2027 headquarters relocation.

Reston's median sale price was cited at $592,450 for April 2026, while Zillow's own average home value ran $639,321 (down 1.7% YoY) and a separate median-home-value citation ran $660,750 -- a real, disclosed $592K-$661K range, narrower than the severe disagreement found for Tysons but still worth treating as directional rather than a single settled figure.
Booz Allen Hamilton's planned relocation as a real, current demand driver
Booz Allen Hamilton's November 2025 announcement that it will relocate its global headquarters to Reston (occupying 1870 and 1800 Reston Row Plaza, planned fall 2027 inauguration) represents a real, current, and substantial investment likely to influence Reston's housing demand as the relocation approaches -- though the move is not yet complete as of this research pass, and its full housing-market effect is not yet independently measurable.
A genuinely mixed housing stock across Reston's original village clusters and newer development
Reston's housing spans the original 1960s-1990s village-cluster townhouses and single-family homes near its four lakes, alongside newer high-rise condo development near the Wiehle-Reston East and Reston Town Center Metro stations -- a real, genuine mix reflecting Reston's decades-long development history as a planned community.
Weigh lakefront/pond-adjacent flood exposure directly for specific properties
Given Reston's distinctive four-lake and stormwater-pond network, buyers considering lakefront or pond-adjacent properties specifically should weigh the real, disclosed flood-adjacent risk covered on insurance-hazard-costs directly as part of their housing-market research.
