Review of Reston, Virginia


The quality has rapidly declined in Reston, VA
Star Rating - 7/12/2006
I moved to Reston 7 years ago. Some call it North Reston or New Reston. It was a mix of suburbs with small town flavor along with city sophistication. It was growing at comforatable pace. Being 1/2 hour from DC is great!

Fast forward to July 2006. The traffic is now dreadful. Apartments and condos appear daily. Businesses have now taken over every inch of land. We have no new schools, the infastructure has not grown or improved, the cost of housing has sky rocketed and the cost of living is crazy, crime is now an issue.

The planned community is not going too well. Time for a new plan. One everyone can live with.
