[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20171 also includes Fox Mill Estates. We love it here. The elementary school is great, several pools in the area, and the neighborhoods are easy for kids to get around in. [/quote]

I've heard (elsewhere) that South Reston is not the safest place and the same for parts of Herndon.  Are all of these neighborhoods excluded from those admonishments?  I know none of these are technically in "South Reston," but Fox Mill Estates at least looks pretty close.[/quote]

We have lived hear for 13 years and have not seen any crime. The BB&T has been robbed a few times but that is it. I can’t think of anything happening at the shopping center. Parents let their kids walk to school on a daily basis. Kids are currently walking and biking to the pools without supervision. You can walk to the other neighborhoods you are discussing from Fox MIll. The biggest complaint that I have heard is the lack of a traffic light at Pinecrest and Fox Mill, which is currently being rectified.

People seem to greatly exaggerate the crime stats in the area. Stuff happens every where.  The crime in South Reston is minimal, and it the rare event seems to be in apartment/townhouse areas not single family homes. I have not even heard of much crime in Dogwood, which is near by. I read the Facebook groups and this idea that South Reston is dangerous is brought up fairly regularly but I have never seen the stats to back up the concern.

DP, same - there is really no crime. The BB&T get robbed every couple of years (usually unsuccessfully) - which is a stand alone building that is not inside the neighborhood, to be clear, it's technically in another zip. The bank at the neighborhood shopping center does not get robbed. Actual crime in the neighborhood is limited to if you leave your unlocked bike at the playground overnight, you risk someone riding it back to their house. The neighborhood news letter reports the "crime" report which includes the fact that like 11 people left their garage doors open at night and that's not recommended.[/quote]
