[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reston/Herdon has some great areas. We live in the FoxMill ES boundary and love it. The ES is very good and has a nice community. Carson is excellent and South Lakes is solid. We like the neighborhood. The commute to Arlington is ok, our commuter leaves after school drop off, so around 9, and the commute takes 40 minutes. Housing prices are more affordable. We are happy out here.[/quote]

What is a commuter?[/quote]

A person who commutes.[/quote]

The context implies the commuter is a bus.  [/quote]

“Our commuter” is a bus?  That’s the only way it would take 40 minutes.  i lived near Reston a couple years ago.  Sometimes it took me half an hour just to get to the Dulles Toll Road from my place.  [/quote]

There is a bus that takes about 30-40 minutes that is direct route to Crystal City, I took that for a few months. DS drives from Reston/Herndon area at 9 AM and gets into the office around 9:45. He is planning on switching to the Metro when the new stops open. Driving and parking at Weihle at his commute time takes too long and parking is hard to find. But several of the new stops will be about 5-10 minutes away.

There are walkable areas in Reston/Herndon. There are some great schools, to include several language immersion Elementary Schools. Wehave had good experiences with rec sports and Scouts. It is a good place to raise a family. We looked at Arlington and Alexandria and did not want to spend that type of money on a house that would need a good amount of renovation. And that was before kids entered the picture. I am thrilled to not being deal with APS right now. We are a 1/2 mile walk to DS ES so I am pretty comfortable with our boundaries. [/quote]

What s the direct route to Crystal City?  TIA.[/quote]
