[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have lived in Reston 23 years. Moved from NW DC so we were experienced city dwellers.. Love it here. Very walkable. Love the paths and lakes. Raised my son here. He went to Hughes and South Lakes. Schools are fine. Don’t read into test scores. That is reflective of the wide diversity.

That said, I commuted downtown for one year and wanted to kill myself. The commute was indeed soul sucking. I also hated the job too so that may have had some impact on my misery. But the commute was not a short one. Now I work in Reston and am home hours earlier. [/quote]

How did you commute? How many times per week? If you were able to walk to Reston metro, would that have helped?[/quote]

pP. I sometimes drove and sometimes took Metro. I live about one mile from Metro so I drove to station those days. Living walking distance wouldn’t have changed the 45 minute train ride. I commuted five days a week. [/quote]

I don't mind a 45 minute train ride. I read or play games and it goes by fast. But driving and parking at the metro station, or walking to the car and driving home, is the bigger hassle in my opinion. I'd much rather have a calm 10 minute walk. Living within a mile of the metro station is a huge amenity.[/quote]
