Where to Stay When Visiting General Dynamics (Reston)

General Dynamics's headquarters is in Reston. Three airports serve the DC area — and Metro reaches some campuses. Which you pick decides the trip.

General Dynamics is a global aerospace and defense company, headquartered at 11011 Sunset Hills Rd, Reston, VA 20190. That's the Dulles Technology Corridor — Reston and Herndon along the Dulles Toll Road, the heart of Northern Virginia's defense-and-tech contractor belt (General Dynamics, Leidos, CACI, SAIC), now on Metro's Silver line.

“General Dynamics is in Reston, ten minutes from Dulles. Stay in Reston Town Center, fly IAD, and don't bother with the drive from DC.”— Rachel Julian, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
