Reston is a very clean, professional and overall nice community. No changes are needed to better the community!
Reston is a wonderful place to live. Multiple green spaces, walking paths connect neighborhoods across the area. One of Virginia's best rated Farmers market, quick access to DC's sites via public transportation provide a diverse set opportunities. Bike trails, community recreation facilities including pools and tennis enable all to stay fit! The area has a diverse population and offers a wide range of dining options for the foodies!
I moved to Reston from suburban Denver, and a city with significant green space and great breweries/stores/restaurants that I could walk to. I was attracted to Reston because it is a master planned community that has trails, lakes, parks, and green space, while also being connected to Metro. There are a lot of great restaurants around, including many that are not in Reston Town Center (where you'll have to pay for parking on weekdays during business hours).
There does seem to be some crime in southern Reston, generally west of Soapstone Drive. I would have no concern going on a run in the middle of the night in my neighborhood near Lake Anne, but I may not do the same near Colts Neck. However, it's a very safe place to live, and random violent crime just isn't going to happen.
