"Responsible, mature dog owners that love people and pets! The norm is dogs leashed, under control of their owners and consistently cleaning up pet waste."

"I’m within 2 miles from my work but it takes 10 minutes to get there. The traffic is heavy at all hours of the day and people drive as if there is an emergency."

"This area is generally very safe! The only issue is that the road on North Shore does not have street lights so when walking at night it’s very very dark here."

"It’s ok. Just limited parking. They have spots labeled pool parking and you are not allowed to park there even when the pool is closed during the winter time. So you’re constantly having to park in front of other peoples homes. "

"It is important to know that it is very safe! It is a great and affluent area to raise children. There are also plenty of kids around too, so they would sure make friends. The schools are supposed to be really great, and there are also private schools that they could attend. They also have programs at the schools that allow the kids to advance and succeed scholastically. You won't be disappointed with the schools, plus they offer way better lunches then the poorer counties."

"Safe, convenient, family-oriented neighborhood. Easy walk to the Reston Town Center which has excellent shopping, dining, and entertainment facilities, to include a theater and a skating rink. Transportation now includes the new Silver Line MetroRail direct into DC. Nearby is the Reston Community Center with great social programs and facilities which include an indoor swimming pool, a state-of-the-art wood craft shop, photo-developing labs, and various athletic facilities. For families, nearby schools K-12 rank in the top tier of education. It just doesn't get better than this anywhere in the DC area!"

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI don’t recommend this school ever. It’s so bad that there is bullying every day and don’t do anything about it. I filled a complaint took my information down No ONE bothered to call me back and update me about my complaint. If your child bullied or cyber bullied don’t even bother to call them , they tell you it’s not their responsibility to take care of it. Worse school ever.
