Reston
Ranked by CNN Money as one of America's best small cities, Reston, Virginia is known for its signature style as a master-planned community without the cookie-cutter aesthetics. Founded in 1964, it was created with the intention to upend post-war concepts of land use and suburban development in the U.S. Houses of different shapes and sizes stand side-by-side in this Washington DC's metropolitan area city. The city's slogan is the same as its beginnings: “Live, Work, Play and Get Involved.”
