I live in northern VA, at the very western edge of Loudoun county, maybe like 50-60 miles from DC...not really exactly sure lol. I dont really like DC that much so i stay away from it, but I absolutely love the area that I'm in. 
I'd be happy to answer anything that i can. |

Are you familiar with Reston, VA? I just want to hear what locals have to say about that place. I tried to do some research on the website but it doesn't tell me much about that place other than it's a planned community. I am not sure how far you are to Reston since it looks fairly close to D.C. Thanks! |

I visit my Cousin and my nephew in Fairfax,VA My personal opinion around the area is pretty quiet actually and it isn't so bad. its just when it gets really dark, IT's tooo dark. like PITCHBLACK can't barely see anything.... other then that Reston is very similiar to Annadale, VA so the neighborhood is pretty quiet if that's what you're looking for. Hope this info helped |

Well, i honestly can't say I've been around Reston in 7 or 8 years...back then all of northern VA was a very nice area to live in. I lived in Sterling(eastern Loudoun county, fairly close to Reston) until i was in the 6th grade...and i guess my parents noticed that the area was changing for the worse and they moved us out to the western edge of the county, very rural area out here. When I go back to Sterling now (still have family there...wish they would move) I can see how bad it's become. The only areas in northern VA i would recommend *against* are Sterling, Herndon, and the slummy parts of Leesburg; there is just lots of gang activity these days and I am so thankful that my parents got us out of there before it got so bad. Reston is most likely still a good area though, i think it is Fairfax county...but it might be on the edge of Loudoun. The good thing i can say about northern VA (loudoun county in particular) is that the public schools are absolutely spectacular. Sure, I hated it while I was going through it lol, but now that I look back, it really did prepare me for college fairly well. The grading system is very demanding (no passing a class with a 50%, you need a 70% here) and the teachers (in highschool, the ones that really matter ) were very good at what they taught. I have seen teachers before that absolutely don't know what the hell they are doing, lol.
I guess another thing to warn about is that in northern VA, houses and property are very expensive, as it is a very popular area in these recent years (last year or the year before Loudoun County had the fastest growing population of any county in the enitre country). My parents paid ~$210,000 for our house 8 years ago, and now it could sell for near $600,000. Basically these days you will be paying a lot of money for a small house on a small piece of property
Hope this all helps out. If i think of something else I'll post it.
