Reimagining Real Estate

Vienna

Next to its giant and more popular neighbors, Vienna, at first glance, seems inconsequential. It is a small community covering only around 4.4 square miles of total area in Northern Virginia. But in reality, Vienna is so much more. Over the years, this Fairfax County town is slowly claiming its spot as one of the region’s most noteworthy places. Vienna’s hard work has already been rewarded as it was recognized as one of the best places to live in the country by several publications. And the future looks bright for this family-friendly community.

Vienna is located in the region called the Piedmont, nestled between the coastal plain and the Appalachians. From here, Arlington is approximately an 11.5-mile drive while Washington, D.C. is 17 miles away. This is a relatively small and tight-knit locale, with only a little over 14,680 residents living full-time in the town.

History highlights

  • Vienna’s first resident was Colonel Charles Broadwater, who came to the area and built his home in the mid-18th century. The land was eventually passed onto his son-in-law, the Scotsman named John Hunter, sometime in the 1760s. He later built his own house, the first recorded house in Vienna. That time, however, the town was known as Ayr Hill.
  • A century later, Ayr Hill’s population grew. The area was popular among immigrants because of its agreeable weather and real estate potential. Among those who came is the Hendrick family, led by William Hendrick, a doctor. An influential land-owning family, the Hendricks wanted Ayr Hill to be renamed as Vienna as an homage to their hometown in New York. This name change became official in 1855.
  • During the Civil War, many local families relocated as Vienna was caught in a tug-of-war between Union and Confederate troops. After the war, northern immigrants came and further spurred Vienna’s development.
  • The biggest change in Vienna came in the 1950s when modernization took over the town by storm. The population grew, real estate development blossomed, and more community amenities were built.
