Quick question about Reston

Alright, Born and raised here. Poverty rate is 3.6%, which is pretty low. You can expect to pay around $2,170 for rent here. Average temperature is around 54--F, so expect cold winters. Median household income is $139,515, which feels pretty solid for the area. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The suburbs are where most families end up. Thoughts? There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The weather takes some getting used to. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

Hot take but I love the pace of life here. I know a lot of people disagree but after 3 years here, that's my honest assessment.
