| Our Goals |
| Current Budgets |
The Solaridge Budget shows how
we generate income, primarily
from assessments in the cluster.
It shows how we use that money
to maintain our roads and
sidewalks, our landscaping in the
common areas, and pay for our
trash and recycling services.
2007 Budget
| Monthly Board Meeting |
The monthly business meeting is
scheduled for the second
Monday at 7:30 in the President's
living room. Please drop in to
discuss a problem or just say hello.
It's a good idea to call and
verify the time and date since
changes are rare but possible!

Solaridge Neighborhood in Reston,
Virginia, USA
Where we are...
We're located in the South Lakes area of Reston, Virginia, a planned community in Fairfax County, northwest of Washington, DC, in the Tysons Corner - Reston - Dulles technology corridor. Half an hour's drive puts us in downtown DC, or in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. And the Global Internet courses through Reston, both literally in terms of traffic and in terms of the intellectual engine behind its growth.
What we like about our neighborhood...
Reston has an extensive complex of hiking and bicycling paths, lakes, swimming pools, tennis courts, and neighborhood theatre and arts. The W&OD regional trail is just a half mile away, and is great for jogging, bicycling, and horseback riding.
We have a great selection of restaurants, shopping in our neighborhood centers, an "uptown" at Reston Town Center, and active community theatre and fine arts and crafts movements. And we're located close to Wolf Trap Farm Park, a venue for summer outdoor and winter indoor performances of all sorts.
What we like about Solaridge...
Our Solaridge Cluster patio homes feature winter heat from the sun. Solar attics with large, south-facing windows collect heat on a winter's day, with a blower and duct system bringing the warmth down to our living levels. Our homes are built with natural cedar siding, and feature open floorplans and expansive decks and patios superb for entertaining and casual living.
With thirty-five homes, we have the luxury of being able to know everyone in the neighborhood. Our springtime community business meeting and an autumn block party foster a sense of community. Many residents have found "best friends" just down the street.
Our history...
Solaridge Cluster was built in 1986 by Warren Katz's Felix Construction. Thirty five south-facing solar patio homes were built. Twenty nine of these are two story models, the six homes on the east side of the cluster also have a walk-out basement level.
The basic designs for Solaridge were later used to construct the Southbay community, built in the late 1980's off South Lakes Drive. The houses look very similar, but do not have the solar attics.
