Fairfax County neighborhood guide — the practical picture on housing, commute, parks, and schools. No stale stats: for this month's numbers, just ask.
Vienna is a primarily residential town in Fairfax County, Virginia, with a downtown of small businesses along Maple Avenue — a classic small-town corridor in the middle of Northern Virginia's job centers.
It sits just west of Tysons and the I-66 corridor, making it a convenient midpoint between Fairfax County's employment hubs and Washington, D.C.
Vienna's housing is a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and condos, set on established neighborhood streets. The housing range is broad, so the right price conversation starts with what you're actually looking for — not a county-wide average.
The Vienna/Fairfax-GMU station — the western terminus of the Orange Line — serves the area from the I-66 corridor, with direct train service toward Dunn Loring, Ballston, and downtown Washington.
The main road corridors are I-66 and Maple Avenue, which runs through the heart of town.
Meadowlark Botanical Gardens is located right in Vienna, and the Washington & Old Dominion Railroad Regional Park trail — a major walking and biking path — cuts through the center of town.
Wolf Trap is nearby, and Tysons — with its shopping, dining, and major employers — is just east.
Vienna is served by Fairfax County Public Schools. School assignments are by exact address — always verify at fcps.edu.
