The Connection asked Reston residents what the greatest things about living in the area are. Here's what they said while shopping at the Reston Farmers Market, 1609 Washington Plaza N, Reston.

The market, open 8 a.m.–noon on Saturdays through Dec. 7, is operated by Fairfax County Park Authority and was named the Best Farmers Market in Northern Virginia by readers of Virginia Living Magazine.

Christopher Walker, Reston resident two years: "It's a community feel. I love the green spaces and Lake Anne. I'm a tennis enthusiast, so I enjoy all the available courts. I also enjoy knowing Reston will retain its small town feel."

Claudelle Gehy, Reston resident for two years:"The community feel. I love the parks. I've been to lake Newport's tennis courts. I recently discovered Lake Fairfax. I walk around the fields and enjoy nature there. As a jogger, I use some of the paths around Lake Audubon.”

We love Reston Farmers Market (at Lake Anne Plaza) and like to support the local businesses and shops. We were in Reston Town Center, shopping and eating.” (Right) Kyle Dodd, Reston resident for two and a half years: "We like how great it is here. You are not in the hustle and bustle of D.C. We attend the Cardboard Boat Regatta (at Lake Anne) and enjoy the breweries, Lake Anne Brew House and Local VA, very relaxing.”
