May be soon moving to Northern Virginia to work in Leesburg. My SO will be working in DC or just outside of it, so a location that is convenient to commute by car to Leesburg, but close to a Metro to commute into DC/Arlington is ideal.

Any advice? Thinking Reston? Other ideas?

Reston or Tysons Corner.

Tysons corner would be an apt place. You can find apartments for that rent.

Also, your commute to Leesburg will be easier as you will be going against the traffic and your SO could drive or take metro to DC.

Tyson's. Closer to DC than Reston, and there is metro access.

There is Metro access in Reston, also. It's six of one/ half a dozen of the other. One's going to be closer to Leesburg, and one's going to be closer to DC. Personally, I would think you'd want to be closer to work for the person driving.....but that's just me.

Agreed. Reston is a better fit for the OP, and more housing options too for the budget
