[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does it matter that it’s a town? It’s soulless suburbia for the DMV’s strived UMC new money types. Cookie cutter houses galore. The data centers nearby are an improvement to the culture, and that’s saying something…[/quote] You seem to be thinking of a different area. There are certainly 'soulless' parts of NoVa overrun by cookie cutter houses, but Reston is not ---- it was founded in the 1960s on principles of social integration, local community, walkability and access to nature for all. It was planned as a series of 'villages' each with a mix of types of housing, each connected by miles of paths so residents can all walk to parks, lakes and grocery stores, and lots of green space. It also has a wonderful Nature Center, among other amenities. Reston is not perfect and recent years have brought more urbanization (Reston Town Center) but it is still a unique place in NoVa.[/quote]
