Where it is

The village center is reached from Glade Drive and Colts Neck Road, the plan says. The plan keeps the shopping area at a low intensity, for “neighborhood serving retail, accessory office, institutional uses, and service uses,” and expects the homes around it “to remain unchanged.” “Currently there is no redevelopment plan for this Village Center,” it adds.

The plan does not draw a line around the wider village, so this page covers the homes within about half a mile of the village center, placed by the county’s shopping centers map layer, inside the Reston plan boundary. All of it is in ZIP code 20191. Reston is unincorporated: Fairfax County provides police, fire and rescue. See who to call.

Schools

From the FCPS 2026-27 attendance area maps in Fairfax County’s GIS, laid over the half-mile area. Shares are of land, not students. Every school below is Fully Accredited for 2025-26.

The elementary zone depends on the street; check the exact address on the boundary locator. More in our Reston schools guide.

The typical home value in ZIP 20191 was $610,099 in September 2026, up 0.5% from $606,948 in September 2025, according to the Zillow Home Value Index. For all of Reston, Zillow’s figure was $622,037.

How we drew this area

Hunters Woods Village Center is one of five village centers in Fairfax County’s Comprehensive Plan for Reston. Because the plan does not map the village around it, this page uses the homes within about half a mile of the village center, from the county’s shopping centers layer, inside the Reston plan boundary. School and ZIP shares come from laying the FCPS attendance areas and the county ZIP code map over that circle. Park and store locations are © OpenStreetMap contributors.
