Welcome to Bentana Woods West

Developed by Bennett of Virginia in the 1970’s, our Cluster of 108 ‘California Townhomes’ at the Southern end of North Shore Drive is in the Tall Oaks section of Reston. The community lies on a total of 17 acres, 10 of which are common areas with open grass, tot lots and stands of trees which are certified as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. Please come and visit us.

2024 Board Of Directors Election

We need volunteers to run for the Board! 

There will be at least two (2) vacancies on the Board for our upcoming election. If you have any interest in running, or learning more about the Board of Directors, please reach out to a Board member or send an email to bod@bwwca.org.

As a reminder:

The Bentana Woods West Cluster Association Board of Directors elections will be held during the annual meeting on the last Sunday in April. There are three (3) Board seats that are up for election this year. We need volunteers for your community.

Bentana Woods West Cluster Association, a corporation under Virginia law, is your association. The Cluster Association is governed by a Board of Directors, composed of seven volunteer residents, who are elected to two-year terms by Cluster residents. This group of volunteers performs the following duties:

  • Handle Cluster business
  • Create and execute Cluster budget
  • Adopt and enforce rules as necessary 
  • Enforce Reston Association covenants 
  • Keep the common areas cared for (including green areas, landscaping, sidewalks, parking areas, street lights, and streets) 
  • Promote and organize community activities

Here are some common questions asked before each election:

  • What qualifications do I need to have? Live in the cluster either as an owner or a renter.
  • How much time is involved? One meeting a month… and some emails.
  • Sounds great! How do I apply? Write a short election statement (bio) and email it to the Board at bod@bwwca.org.

If you have an interest or any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Board.
