Moving from a multi-level house to single-level living doesn’t have to feel like giving something up. In the right community, it can feel like an upgrade: open, spacious layouts and luxury finishes, with far less upkeep and far fewer stairs. If you’re thinking about your next move, here’s why single-level living deserves a close look.
Less Maintenance, Not Less Space
Single-level living lets you keep the room you’re used to while leaving much of the upkeep behind. With everything on one floor, there’s no lugging a vacuum up the stairs and no climbing ladders to clean gutters. Fewer stairs also means fewer everyday risks, and that matters: according to the CDC, falls are the leading cause of injury for adults 65 and older.

At JW Marriott Residences Reston Station, that ease comes with plenty of room to spread out. Its newly released three-bedroom model shows just how open and expansive single-level living can feel.
Luxury communities often handle the bigger jobs, too. Homeowners at JW Marriott Residences Reston Station have an on-site concierge, on-site management and a building engineer available seven days a week, so an air conditioning or plumbing problem is no longer yours to fix. You can still enjoy outdoor spaces without ever mowing a lawn, and spend your time on what matters most to you.

“Lock and Leave” with Ease
A single-level home in a managed community also makes it easy to “lock and leave.” Whether you’re away for a long weekend or the whole winter, you won’t have to worry about security or upkeep on an empty house. Private mail and package rooms keep deliveries safe while you’re gone.
JW Marriott Residences Reston Station takes the lock-and-leave lifestyle a step further with 24/7 valet service and a private parking garage. Residents can head off on their next adventure knowing everything at home is taken care of.

Amenities That Bring Neighbors Together
Living in a multifamily community also puts connection right outside your door. At JW Marriott Residences Reston Station, homeowners share a rooftop lounge with sweeping views, a resident lounge with a catering kitchen and a fitness center that makes it easy to stay active close to home. As we explored in the first article in this series, staying socially connected and physically active both play a real part in healthy aging, and spaces like these make both part of everyday life.
Close to Everything
In a lively area like Reston, the amenities continue well beyond your front door. It’s also usually easier to find a single-level home in a vibrant, walkable neighborhood when you look at multifamily communities rather than detached houses, since so many of these communities are built close to shops and restaurants.
JW Marriott Residences Reston Station is located in the heart of Reston Station, with shopping and local dining just steps away. Reston itself has been recognized by publications such as Forbes and Money as a premier place to live, work and retire, and the town is a big part of what sets the Residences apart.
Making the Move
If you want a low-maintenance lifestyle without giving up the luxuries you’ve earned, single-level living may be the right choice. When you’re ready to plan your next move, consider a tour of JW Marriott Residences Reston Station, the only JW Marriott–branded residences in Virginia.
