Vienna is a small suburban community where residents can quickly reach Washington, D.C., commuter routes on the Capital Beltway and shopping at Tysons Corner. Its proximity to the nation's capital doesn't overcome the area's character, though, which benefits from a quaint downtown district and walkability courtesy of Northern Virginia's popular Washington & Old Dominion Trail. "It's convenient, and it truly does feel like a small town. You run into people you know at the grocery store, or CVS, or out to dinner," says Laura Schwartz, a Realtor with Real Broker, LLC, who has been selling homes in the area for 17 years. Census data shows Vienna's population grew 5% from 2010 to 2020, to about 16,300 people. The greater Washington, D.C., region remains appealing for homebuyers thanks to a strong job market, from Fairfax and Loudoun County's many data centers to the government in Washington. Vienna offers access to these opportunities while providing an intimate community.

Vienna has Postwar homes and new construction mansions
Ranch-style, split-level and bilevel homes built in the 1960s are common and sell for between $750,000 and $1.2 million. Larger Colonial homes sell for between $900,000 and $1.6 million. New Traditional and Craftsman-style homes built in the last five years go for between $1.5 million and $3.3 million. Two-to-three-level townhouses run from $420,000 to $1.3 million. Vienna is a very walkable community with consistent sidewalk infrastructure. One important detail for potential homebuyers is that any addresses in Vienna that feature a cardinal direction — SW, NE, etc. — are formally considered a part of the town of Vienna, while others are colloquially "in Vienna" but more accurately in Fairfax County. Town residents pay additional property taxes each year and are subject to the town's zoning regulations. According to FBI crime statistics, Vienna's property and violent crime rates consistently run far below the national average for the past few years.
Large New Traditional homes can be found throughout the Vienna area.
Modern Craftsman style homes are sprinkled throughout Vienna.

Residents can get active at Nottoway Park or Wildwood Park
Vienna gets four distinct seasons, with notably humid Virginia summers. Locals can play tennis, basketball or volleyball at Nottoway Park and work out on the fitness trail. Some residents like to head over to Cunningham Park, where children enjoy the playground and the variety of athletic fields. Wildwood Park opened in 2013, and its half-mile trail through the woods along Wolftrap Creek is a popular nature trail. Wildwood Park also connects to the 45-mile Washington & Old Dominion Trail, connecting cyclists and hikers to dozens of parks across four different counties.

Local spots on Maple Avenue, more options at Mosaic and Tysons
Maple Avenue is the commercial heart of Vienna. Lined with local businesses, it has a distinct small-town feel that distinguishes it from its more suburban residential areas. Neighborhood hangouts like Caboose Brewing Company & Tavern are right along the W&OD Trail, so patrons can ride their bikes or walk over for pub grub and draft beers. Two miles from home is Tysons Corner Center, the largest shopping mall in the D.C.-Baltimore area, with three floors of name-brand retailers and an AMC movie theater. Another popular shopping hub is the Mosaic District, less than 4 miles from Vienna, featuring four blocks of major retailers like Target, boutiques and fast-casual dining options.

Close to I-66 and the Beltway, with Tysons just 2 miles north
A 17-mile drive along Interstate 66 takes commuters to Washington, D.C. Vienna is also a 1-mile drive to I-495, known as the Capital Beltway because it circles the larger D.C. area The Vienna Metrorail Station offers service on the Orange Line, and these trains reach D.C. in about 35 minutes. Metrobuses make stops along Maple Avenue and Courthouse Road for public access around town. Dulles International Airport is an 11-mile drive, while the nearest hospital, Inova Fairfax Medical Campus, is 6 miles away.
Vienna events bring the community together
Vienna fosters its small-town feel with community events like Chillin' on the Church, where the town gathers for a block party on the spacious and historic Church Street. Nottoway Park hosts Nottoway Nights, a series of weekly, free public concerts during the summer. Locals can also catch summer concerts at the amphitheater at the Vienna Town Green or bring the whole family to Kids on the Green, a regular public event with a petting zoo, puppets and live music for children. "Meadowlark Botanical Gardens is nearby, and they have a magical Winter Walk of Lights during the Holiday season every year," Schwartz adds. The botanical gardens span 95 acres of lush greenery, 3 miles from Vienna. There's also the Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts, which regularly hosts performances by chart-topping musicians and comedians.
