Reston Real Estate: Get to Know Bentana Woods

This is a sponsored post by Eve Thompson of Reston Real Estate.

Do you ever dream of finding a quiet place in the woods, free from the hustle and bustle of urban life? Except that you like the hustle and bustle of urban life, so you don’t want to go live in the woods. What if you could find both? Bentana Woods is the neighborhood for you.

Bennett of Virginia built these townhomes in1 972. They’re located in the Tall Oaks section of Reston, about one mile from the Wiehle-Reston East Metro station (which means you could walk there if you wanted).

They’re also a quick walk into Lake Fairfax Park and short drive to Reston Town Center or Lake Anne Plaza.

The original Tall Oaks Village Center is slated for redevelopment, so within the next few years there will be new shops and restaurants all a quick walk from your front door. But you won’t be able to tell because this neighborhood is so secluded you feel like you’re in rural Virginia.

The fact that these three-to-four-bedroom, 1,700 square-foot townhouses are charming and well designed is icing on the cake.

Bentana Woods is actually two separate clusters — Bentana Woods Cluster has 48 homes while Bentana Woods West has 108 homes. More than 50 percent of the neighborhood lands are common areas with open grass, tot lots, and stands of trees — trees that the National Wildlife Federation has certified as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat.

If you want to be close to the action, but feel like you’re living in a national park, Bentana Woods is the Reston neighborhood for you!
