[quote=Anonymous]We just found out that we will be moving to the DC area in a few months.  We have always known this was a possibility, so we have spent some time exploring some of the suburbs.  We believe that Reston would be a great fit for our family.  We have 3 kids in ES and MS.  DH will be commuting downtown, and I am a SAHM (but will be looking to return to work once we get settled).  I would love to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly of life in Reston.  Anything you can tell me about things to do, schools, people, shopping, getting around, recreation, etc would be helpful.  My girls are into dance (ballet, tap, jazz), so one of our priorities will be finding a good dance studio for them.  As a family, we are pretty outdoorsy.

We do know that DH's commute to Federal triangle will be long.   He will take the Metro in when it is complete.  DH is fine with it, and can use that time returning emails, texts, and voice mails.

Our original plan was to rent for one year so we can test out the area.  But now we are rethinking this because I am assuming housing prices will increase quite a bit after the 2 (?) Reston Metro stops are completed.  So, maybe we should try to buy right off the bat?  I also would love to consider buying and living in a fixer upper that we could potentially flip if we don't decide to stay.  I got that idea from another thread. :)  we are open to SFH or TH.  Our budget would be around $450K, but probably $400K for a fixer upper.[/quote]
