Shows how much you know about Reston. You're forgetting about Lake Anne plaza, North Village Center, South Lakes Center, Silver Line Metro town center (which is going to blow the RTC out of the water), Lifetime Fitness, YMCA, RCC, Centerstage, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Home Depot center, the future Fairfax County recreation center at Baron Cameron Park, library, hospital, medical offices, government center, Target, W&OD, nearby Herndon's ethnic food places, etc... Reston offers so much more than any other community, much more than just the town center.

Lake Anne Plaza was nice like....15 years ago? It's an ok place, though.

You do know there are plans to revitalize Lake Anne Plaza, right? Not that it needs it for why we primarily go...lunching on weekends, or for Saturday's wildly
popular farmer's market.

Ok, you really like Reston. We get it.

Different PP, jerk.

Are you looking for town home or SFH, and what price range? I think you can find family-centered neighborhoods anywhere along that spectrum but if you can specify I might have some ideas.

BTW, NP here, but also a Reston resident who loves it!

Yet another different poster - when someone claims "Reston offers so much more than any other community," they are asking for it.

Generally like R, but it's way too far out for me. Even with Wiehle station, it's a long way from DC.

Fair enough. If its important for OP to be closer than that to DC, then it wouldn't be a good choice.

(I commuted Reston to DC for 4 years.)
