Hey guys/gals, it looks like my girl and I are going to be moving from where we live now (between Rockville and Gaithersburg) to the Reston area.
Anyone from around there? Have any do's/don'ts? We will be renting for a year or two until we have a serious down payment saved up for a decent house. We are looking right now at two apartment complexes; Archstone Reston Landing and The Sycamores. Both places off decent looking places (from pics and floorplans) and have solid amenities. We are looking at a 1-bedroom, and these places run about $1200-1350 a month, plus utilities. That price range is fine for us. We are going to look at these places at the end of the month in person.
I work in the Dulles/Sterling area of 28 and she works in Arlington, so it's kind of splitting the difference and lessening both our commutes compared to crossing the river from MD.
So I guess I was just wondering if anyone has any info on the Reston area in general, or more specifically if you have any info on the two places mentioned above that would be great/
