[quote=Anonymous]I used to live in Vienna and saw the traffic get worse and worse. Maple Avenue was bad during rush hour and also really bad on the weekends, when everyone tried to run errands.

The Town of Vienna used to be almost entirely small houses with a fancy area in NW and some newer areas in SW. Then a few builders like Ayr Hill and JP Brehony started building very expensive new homes, often over $1.5 million.  Other builders realized there was nothing in the $1.0-1.4 million range and rushed in to fill the void. A lot of their houses are generic McMansions that aren’t especially attractive, but people buy them and the schools are good.

But getting through Vienna and Tysons is definitely a slog. We were zoned for Marshall HS and it could easily take 45 minutes to get from Vienna to GCM just outside of Tysons in Falls Church. With the additional development slated for Tysons, it seems like Vienna will become more NoVa-focused, whereas the people who also want decent commutes to DC and Arlington will increasingly try to live inside the Beltway.  That isn’t necessarily bad for prices in Vienna - it depends on the volume of economic activity in Fairfax in the future. [/quote]
