There's nothing affordable left in this country

Well, that price is significantly below the median in this area, so it's all relative, I guess. But lots of people love living in this part of Virginia., though it's not for everyone. 🙂

lol crazy high or crazy low

Not sure what you mean. Can you elaborate?

@@GreaterRestonLiving AB35 is a Law Passed In California and moving people into large complexes and look in several city's where the builds have been done 11 in Northern CA and discouraging people from driving by taking and downsizing parking to make people feel uncomfortable driving and discouraging people from driving. Just like in Berkeley CA. where they have taken away parking spaces and made one way streets like the biggest hardware store in Berkeley and limited parking all over. University and a couple blocks from Shattuck Ave. I love that hardware store cause you can find things that people really need yet many blocks have very limited parking. It is all under Green Agenda. Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030 and Agenda 30 X 30 which means returning Lands in States will be owned by the government not private people. Also Land Trusts the Land Trusts are owned by the Trusts and in many cases sold for profit back to the government thus the land owners who sign away to the Land Trusts do not realize that they do not own the property anymore. Than the government can take away permission to visit if they choose especially places like Yosemite.

Gotcha. Looks like that law is all about healthcare liability and not related. Not sure what it has to do with a condo in Reston, VA but maybe I'm missing something.

Glad it was helpful!

Hi there, I'm so sorry I missed your comment. Please give me a call at 703-231-7049. I would love to help you with this. 🙂

Thanks so much, they are super-fun to do and I have a fantastic videographer that makes me look good...LOL! The trail is in Lake Fairfax Park. That scene is close to the start of the trail which you can access from the rear parking area of Skate Quest off of Michael Faraday Drive near Sunset Hills and Wiehle Ave. It's a very popular trail with mountain bikers and they have added quite a bit to it in recent years.

Thank you! My videographer is a master with the drone and uses it in unique ways. Yes, Reston and Northern Virginia in general are such great places to live. Sure there's congestion and such, but we think the pros outweigh the cons! 🙂

Yes, the average home price mentioned in the video included condos. I should probably do an update and break the prices down a bit more across home types. Thanks for watching and reach out if you would like some help making a move into your own home!

You must be going to all the wrong places. Tons of stuff to do in the area!

Actually, the Savoy's condo prices can be quite reasonable for what you get.

That's going to be a tough combination to find for a short-term rental. Probably the best bet is to ask on the Reston Herndon Community Group on Facebook: facebook.com/groups/1382105635438202

A bowling center would be a great idea. Lots of changes near Michael Faraday with new mixed use developments coming in.

Is the old skating rink still there that was next to the bowling center on Michael fairaday dr

@@jimward3043 Yep...the skating rink is still going strong!

Yep...still going strong.

True...we did a video on the cost of living: ruclips.net/video/XVUS6i6YS8A/видео.html Check it out! 😀

I used to live in Herndon and worked at USGS a long time ago until I left the area in 2004

@@jimward3043 Nice...come back and visit sometime.

Hmm...you must be thinking of another place. The Vienna Inn in Vienna, VA is a restaurant and is intended to be a bit of a dive bar as part of its charm. There are no rooms for rent.

I think you can't go wrong with Extended Stay America when you need a longer term stay, especially when looking for a place to buy or rent. In fact, we just had a client in one while she waited for her new construction home to be completed. If you are relocating to the area please reach out, I'd be glad to help. - Kathy 703-231-7049

@@GreaterRestonLiving sure Kathy, thanks, I will be der from this Sunday, initially I vl be in extended stay but on long term I may need a budget apartment for a bachelor. My workplace is at commons drive 1880

Hi there, yes, Reston has been quite aggressive adding Capital Bikeshare to its transit mix. There are 35 docking stations across REston and a fairly robust set of bike trails. Check out the Capital Bikeshare map and search Reston Town Center and zoom out to see all of the various stations. Reach out if you want to know more - Kathy. secure.capitalbikeshare.com/map/

Thanks for sharing, Ray. We know those condos well. When the new Metro stop comes in and Halley's Rise gets completed it will be an unbeatable location! - Kathy

@@GreaterRestonLiving God bless you. Living in Reston and realizing how good you have it is like realizing you live in a paradise! I really enjoy your videos! I’ll see you on the lake!

That's fantastic, Victoria. Congrats to your husband! We're so glad the video helped. Please reach out if we can help you relocate to the area. We cover Reston and beyond so pretty much anywhere in Northern Virginia. You can reach me (Kathy) at 703-231-7049 or kathy@greaterrestonliving.com. Looking forward to hearing from you! 😎

Thanks for weighing in, Michelle. I'm glad you found an area to live that is right for you. This is why we did a pros and cons video for the area. We live here and love it here, but those looking for a less urban/suburban lifestyle may prefer another location.

@@GreaterRestonLiving Reston and Northern Virginia is for " younger career minded people." I lived in Reston, Va Annandale, and Fairfax, Va. Last place was South Riding, Va. We kept moving west. Reston, Great Falls is very nice, but we moved to an area near the beach and more affordable. Right now Florida is booming! We bought a house in 2005 in Northeast Fl and our home has appreciated over $250,000.00. We do go back to Va to visit family, and the best part of Northern Virginia are the beautiful Wineries! Again, Reston is nice, but I feel its for 20 30 and 40 year olds who are career climbing. We did that and now want no more snow, but we do go back to visit once a year! Va is a beautiful state.

For now

Haha...Yes...you did a fantastic job getting it ready! 😊

Yeah great tour of the house video

Thanks for watching, Jimmy! Yes, Old Ox does have that fabulous sophistication that Middleburg is famous for, but is also very approachable. It's a great addition to downtown!

Well, hey...I prefer to call it enthusiasm! 😜

@@GreaterRestonLiving Nothing wrong with a little spirited rhetoric. I do it all the time. Just modulate the volume a touch. Your microphones are top notch. That much is obvious, so no need to make your case quite so loudly. All I'm sayin'.

@@nickwebb8197 Appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching!

@@GreaterRestonLiving Thanks for the 411. Good to know what's going on in my town development-wise.

One thing's for certain in Reston, things are always changing. Still, when is the last time you spent time in Lake Anne? There's been a revival of the community over the last 5 - 10 years, I'd say. So many great multi-cultural events, restaurants, Lake Anne Brew House, and a number of mom-and-pop boutique stores. If it's been a while you should try and pop by again soon and check it out.

@@GreaterRestonLiving Yeah it's been a while. Will do.

​@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017I used to live in Reston Lake Ann area for a brief while in the early 80's. I Revisited about a month ago of this post, and to my amazement, very little seem to have changed. The Safeway's gone the bank next to the Safeway is gone and the pharmacy is gone. but if it wasn't for people wearing modern-day clothes I would think I was walking through there in the early 89's.

​@@GreaterRestonLivingAlot is changing in Reston except for Lake Anne. I talked to the owner of one of the restaurants in that Plaza about a month ago, and I was shocked how long he's been in business there.

Hi Zach...the RUclips algorithm works in mysterious ways. I guess it thought you had some interest in Reston. 😀

If your condo is part of the Reston Association (RA) then you should have access to the amenities. You can contact RA here: www.reston.org/ . Welcome to Reston! Reach out anytime.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ha...love that expression! Yes, it is definitely more expensive than many places, but it does have a lot going for it if your income matches.

Thanks for watching and commenting. Hopefully the green card process goes well for you. We would love to help you and your wife find the right place for you when the time comes. Please reach out! The Reston Association does have an annual fee but it comes with many amenities. Pools, trails, open space, community centers, and so much more. Amounts to about $60 per month. Let's chat! - Kathy +1 703-231-7049 or kathy@greaterrestonliving.com.

Well, this is going to depend quite a bit based on how many bedrooms you will want. Townhouse vs Single-Family? Rent vs buy? Reach out and we'll be happy to help with your particular situation: greaterrestonliving.com/contact/
