[quote=Anonymous]Living in Great Falls is a little bit of an isolating experience. There is not much to do and if you are an adult that can occasionally travel for fun that is fine but family with kids, going to activities it can be limiting. Stores, ditto. Any trip to the mall or some bigger stores is a production. Great Falls is beautifully set in the nature that feels open due to large lots and distances between homes. Reston is more suburb-ish in the feel but with that comes less isolating and more community feel. Commute to DC or anywhere for that matter from Great Falls can be tough because the few main roads can be easily blocked by one accident and you sit in the traffic forever with no option to detour. If you like solitary living and great schools to come with it then GF sounds like an option. If you like accessibility and more city feel with schools bit less then Reston. I like GF but I would not live there with little kids because it eventually would lead to spending too much at home because people would be to tired to sit in the car each and every time we wanted go anywhere. Reston is more of a hop and go situation. Aside from the little village center with very few basic places and Supermarket there is really nothing to do in GF. [/quote]
