Also the schools in Reston probably aren't as good as the schools in Bethesda or McLean.

I'd really suggesting coming out and doing some driving around. You'll get a much better sense of which area appeals to you more. You'll also be able to test out the commutes. Believe me when I tell you that this is a key consideration around the DC region. Commutes can be a killer. [/quote]

Agree about he commute comment.  Reston has a wide variety of schools.  Many are excellent.

Reston's schools are fine.  What people mean is that Reston's schools have a MIX of income levels.  Reston was designed to be mixed housing levels (i.e. there are $1mil houses and public housing and everything in between).  Other schools aren't better just b/c they have a more homogenous SES.  They just look better on paper b/c they are all high SES students b/c of the types of housing that was built.

But, OP -- you do not belong in Reston if you are going to NIH.  Live in Bethesda or  Potomac and call it a day.  I live in VA, but your commute doesn't make sense to live in Reston.[/quote]
