2. Former Matchbox restaurant at Reston Station turning into office space (ffxnow.com) — The former Matchbox restaurant space at Reston Station is being absorbed into Amentum’s expanded headquarters, signaling more office growth but fewer new retail options for nearby residents. Comstock reports office space at Reston Station is 96% leased, while retail continues to shuffle with changes involving Puttshack, CVS, and upcoming spots like Ebbitt House and Back Nine Golf.    

3. Year-over-year apartment costs decline throughout Fairfax County in May (ffxnow.com) — If you rent in Reston, average apartment prices are down about 2.3% from last May, with typical one-bedrooms around $2,207 and all units averaging $2,381. The report compares Reston with other Fairfax communities and national trends, noting that while rents have eased, they remain well above pre-2021 levels and could rise again through the summer leasing season.    

4. Complete List Of Benny Blanco Produced Songs From A to Z (classicrockhistory.com) — Reston gets a brief but notable shoutout as the hometown of hit producer Benny Blanco, whose career has shaped much of modern pop music.
