ℹAbout Reston Town Center Station

Reston Town Center Metro station opened on November 15, 2022, as part of the Silver Line Phase 2 extension. The station sits at the heart of Reston Town Center's vibrant mixed-use district — exits lead directly onto the plaza, placing riders steps from restaurants, hotels, the outdoor ice rink, and office towers without any road crossings.

Reston Town Center is one of the most walkable transit-oriented developments in the Washington metro area. The plaza hosts year-round events, including a popular outdoor ice rink in winter and outdoor concerts and markets in warmer months. Upscale dining, national retailers, and multiple hotels are all within a short stroll of the station exits.

🏙 Unlike most suburban Metro stations, Reston Town Center drops you directly into a true urban environment — no parking lots or strip malls to navigate. The platform-to-plaza transition is seamless.

The station also provides a Park & Ride option for commuters arriving from the broader Reston community and surrounding neighborhoods, with a garage offering daily rates. Fairfax Connector buses connect to residential areas throughout Reston that are not within walking distance of the station.
