[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some, but not many, SFHs walking distance to the metro. Those aren't really million dollar homes though.

There are some townhomes somewhat close as well. Pretty crowded together and nothing I would want to live in though.

I work in DC by McPherson and live in North Reston. But I work flexible hours, so I'm at my desk at 7:30 and leave at 3:30. And I drive, so it's only about 45 minutes on most days.

I tested it out and if I drove to the metro, parked, walked, took the train, then walked to my office, the VERY BEST I could do was 75 minutes. Simply no faster way for me. Train alone is 45 minutes from Wiehle to McPherson. But it is pretty consistent, whereas driving can throw you some curveballs sometimes.[/quote]

Won’t the toll be quite a lot? As you are paying both for the toll road and I-66? [/quote]

I don't take 66. I pay the Toll Rd toll and then take 123 to GW Parkway.

My parking in my building is free, so it's just gas and tolls (and wear and tear).[/quote]

Thanks! Have you tried commuting during normal time like leaving at 8 or 8:30 am or coming back at 6 pm. How long will it take?[/quote]

I'm the other former Reston commuter.  When I drove in leaving at 8am or so, it would take me about 75-90 minutes to get to my office in Dupont.  Door to door.  The 66 tolls would be as high as $37 at that time.  [/quote]
