Reston way of life
-
3/24/2009
My wife and I moved to Reston from New Orleans some 18 months ago. The amenities in Reston abound. As a planned urban development, greenspaces dominate with abundant walking trails, parks and recreational areas.
Reston is a very diverse community in both racial and philosophic qualities which makes interacting with other Restonians something of a mixed bag.
The downside of Reston is largely a result of the planning in that a vast majority of the shops (restaurants, clothing, etc) are national chains as single store businesses cannot afford the rents being charged in the area. Traffic, another by product of the planning, is significant because there are limited number of roads which traverse the entire area.
Thanks and I look forward to learning more here.
