A spacious and safe neighborhood known for its performing arts venue
Just 3 miles northwest of Tysons Corner, Wolf Trap, although known for its performing arts venue, should be known for much more. From 1960s ranches and split-level homes to massive new-traditional and modern estates, its real estate scene has something for almost every buyer. Families thrive here as this safe neighborhood boasts schools in the highly regarded Fairfax County Public Schools and a laundry list of impressive parks. But one can’t talk about Wolf Trap without talking about its National Park for the Performing Arts. When the days grow longer and the sun shines brighter, this rural hideaway comes to life with song, dance and summer fun. Crowds draw from all over the Capital Beltway to catch shows here. The park includes two main venues: the Filene Center and The Barns. The Filene Center is the park’s flagship attraction. The theater stands tall and holds just over 7,000 occupants. The Barns are an assemblage of 18th-century sheds that have been refurbished and refined with all the amenities necessary to produce the proper show. Residents gather here to experience local and national acts.
From 1970s ranches and split levels to new-traditional estates
Homebuyers looking in the Wolftrap market will find a wide variety of styles. Ranches, split-level and bi-level homes built in the 1960s sell for between $800,000 and $1.2 million. Larger Colonial homes built between 1970 and 1990 are also very common. These homes can go for between $900,000 all the way up to $1.5 million. New traditional and modern estates are becoming more popular in the area. These homes, which usually sit on large lots of land and feature 6,000-plus square feet of space, go for between $1.5 million and $5.9 million. Many of these estates include tree-lined streets and circular driveways. “Homes here stay on the market for about 7 days,” Laura Schwartz, a Realtor with McEnearney Associates who has been selling real estate in the area for 16 years says. “They sell very quickly.”
Highly regarded Fairfax County Public Schools
There is no shortage of impressive schools in the area. For public schools, residents send their children to the highly regarded Fairfax County Public Schools. For Pre-K through 6th grade, students may attend Westbriar Elementary School before heading to Kilmer Middle School, both of which earned an A grade from Niche. For high school, students head to either McLean High School or Langley High School, both of which earned an A-plus grade from Niche. Those two high schools were named two of the top four public high schools in the state of Virginia by Niche.
Lake Fairfax Park: 476 acres of outdoor fun
Green space is not spared in Wolftrap. Residents enjoy heading over to Foxstone Park, whether they want to take their kids to the playground or want to take advantage of the trails. Right next to the neighborhood to the west is Lake Fairfax Park, a 476-acre outdoor enthusiasts' dream. Visitors bring their children to enjoy the Water Mine family water park and the campgrounds, which surround a 20-acre lake. The park also includes a skate park, several hiking and biking trails and athletic fields. At Hunter Mill Swim & Racquet Club, athletes and outdoorsy types can schedule tennis lessons, join the competitive swim team, or just swing by for social events like Bingo by the Pool. Angelica Run Farm extends resources for equestrians. Advanced riders can join The Pony Pool, a mini-lease program allowing riders to reserve horses for a series of lessons.
Shopping in Tysons, dining in Vienna
Wolf Trap sits within a stone’s throw of Reston, Vienna, McLean and Tysons. For this reason, many locals find themselves shopping at Tysons Corner Center and Tysons Galleria. Tysons Corner Center is a three-story mall that features any store one could think of and an AMC movie theater. Tysons Galleria features more upscale and luxurious shopping with anything from Gucci and Chanel to Louis Vuitton. Popular restaurants for locals include Bear Branch Tavern, a modern American cuisine restaurant known for its Raw Bar Tuesdays. Others enjoy grabbing lunch at The Sandwich Shop, which offers both hot and cold sandwiches along with salads. For groceries, Wolf Trap residents stop by Giant Food or Whole Foods Market, just south of the neighborhood.

Some commuters choose to use the Metrorail, which can be taken from the Spring Hill station into Washington D.C. The Metrobus system can also be used get around Wolf Trap and into Reston and Vienna.

Community events in Vienna
“Vienna has a very large Halloween Parade, town festival called Viva Vienna over Memorial Day weekend, Oktoberfest and summer events called Chillin' on Church,” Schwartz says. Residents also enjoy Meadowlark Botanical Gardens during the holiday season. The garden trail transforms into the Winter Walk of Lights, a half-mile stroll of nature-themed décor.

There is no community spirit. Everyone thinks of themselves and their belongings without looking for camaraderie.
