[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reston has some less nice areas, but honestly, the only school people worry about is dogwood due to the county run housing/section 8 in that zone.

I lived in a TH community in north point for 8 years.  Off lake Newport drive.  Great little neighborhood.  There is a single family home community across fairfax county parkway with a Herndon address that tracks to the neighborhood elementary school, Armstrong-that neighborhood is called Stuart ridge.  You might still be able to get a detached home under $500k there.

The perceptions of south lakes and Herndon HS are at least 10 years old.  Don't believe the rumors.  Really.  [/quote]

We live in the Dogwood boundary and were thrilled K-2. We did end up at Sunrise Valley for AAP this year, but were not opposed to staying. If that did not work out.  Many who speak poorly of Dogwood have never set foot in the school.  The administration is WONDERFUL!   Honestly, in your budget, Reston is probably a good bet.   We have friends who are very happy with Hunters Woods, Aldrin, Sunrise Valley., Lake Anne, and Forest Edge (Spanish immersion). My oldest has loved Hughes Middle.  The Lake Anne, Sunrise Valley and Forest Edge boundaries are probably closest to the Wiehle metro.  Reston has a great sense of community, and lots of amenities.[/quote]
