Tysons Corner
Suburban Neighborhood in Tysons, Virginia
Fairfax County 22102, 22182
High-rise condos define the area
"The market here is good but not great because most of the new buildings that are going up are rentals," says Johnny Benson, a Realtor with Long & Foster Real Estate. "There are stores on the first few floors and then apartments above." Tysons Corner's real estate market is defined by its high-rise condos, usually connected to or within walking distance of retail and dining options. Residents of Tysons are more often renters rather than owners of their homes, due to the predominant market of high-rise units. Single-family homes are hard to come by, and though Tysons isn't technically a city, it has the feel of a metropolitan district walking around its compact, grid-patterned streets, where most locals have cars in underground parking garages. Home values in Tysons Corner range from $350,000 to almost $2 million for one-to-three-bedroom condos, usually depending on the age and amenities offered by the complex. Most condos are high-rises and can offer balconies and 24-hour concierge desks, with fitness centers and yoga rooms available to residents of complexes like The Verse. Older brick townhouses are also closer to the Greensboro metro station to the west.Small neighborhood parks in nearby Vienna and McLean
Raglan Road Park is a small preserve west of Leesburg Pike. It features a churning creek called Old Courthouse Stream Branch and Vesper Trail, which snakes through the trees. Hikers can sometimes see white-tailed deer crossing their path here. The mall also has a new outdoor space called "The Plaza," which hosts annual events. It's a great spot to get takeout from the mall and eat it outdoors. The Plaza is a bridge between the Tysons metro station and the mall.Fairfax County Public Schools get all A's
Tysons Corner falls under the Fairfax County Public School district. Students can attend Spring Hill Elementary and Longfellow Middle School, both with overall A-ratings on Niche. There's also McLean High School, rated an A-plus and ranked by Niche as the No. 2 best college prep high school in Virginia. McLean's College and Career Center hosts over 100 college admission visits annually and offers test prep for exams like the SAT, ACT, and ASVAB.The whole region heads to Tysons for Black Friday
Black Friday is Tysons Corner's official holiday. Almost all the mall's stores have discount deals, and parking lots are usually packed the second the doors open. Lines stretch outside department stores, and foot traffic is bumper-to-bumper. Residents here will find living within walking distance of the mall a luxury if they're searching for a good deal the day after Thanksgiving. Less chaotic holidays invite other kinds of celebration. The modern circus show Cirque Du Soleil performs dazzling stunts under its striped tent on select dates throughout the year, usually on Galleria Drive. Tysons Corner Center becomes a winter wonderland during the colder holidays, complete with a Santa's Workshop for kids to take photos on Santa's lap and a Christmas tree lighting at The Plaza.Beltway access to D.C., and Silver Line metro stations
Tysons Corner is conveniently bordered on all sides by major northern Virginia roadways, forming a triangle around the development. With Chain Bridge Road to the north, Leesburg Pike to the west and the Capitol Beltway to the east, drivers can quickly hop on the highway to reach Arlington or D.C. within 15 miles or about 30 minutes, depending on traffic. There's also great rail access to the Greensboro, McLean and Tysons metro stations, which are less than a mile from the neighborhood and offer Silver Line access through the greater D.C. area.Over 300 stores in Tysons Corner Center mall
Tysons Corner Center draws visitors from all over the D.C., Maryland and Virginia area, also known as the DMV. The main mall has over 300 stores and restaurants spread across three floors. There's also an AMC movie theatre and food court on the top floor, a regular hangout spot for high school students or families on the weekends. The mall is anchored by Macy's, Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's and features everything from an Apple store to a Pacsun. North of Chain Bridge Road is Tysons Galleria or Tysons II. While construction finished on Tysons Corner in the late 1960s, Tysons Galleria opened its doors in the late 1980s and is distinguished for its luxury retail options. Shops at the Galleria include Dolce & Gabbana, Saks 5th Avenue and Louis Vuitton, to name a few. Tysons Corner Center features restaurants like Seasons 52, serving surf-and-turf specials and cocktails, and fast casual spots in the food court like Marhaba, serving gyros and halal meats. At the same time, Tysons Galleria hosts P.F. Chang's, Fogo de Chao Brazilian Steakhouse and Agora, an intimate Mediterranean small-plate restaurant.
