[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s pretty simple you just need to be able to walk to the train. For most people 12 minute or less walk or else they end up driving to the train.  That will be difficult if not impossible to find in town of Vienna (maybe some of the border near Tysons? I’m not as familiar with that side) But from Tysons I think you have to deal with transferring trains. The straight shot is the orange line which is located technically outside town of Vienna limits.
[b]I lived in a townhome across from the Vienna Metro for years and my commute was really simple. I walked 10 minutes to the platform[/b] and was on the train for about 45 minutes sometimes 55 depending on how they were running And of course it depends what exact stop you’re going to. The Length  didn’t bother me but maybe I am an outlier. I just listened to music and sometimes read a book. The apps have gotten a lot better so I knew exactly when to get there to not have to wait to get on a train.  Straight shot and I always got a seat since it was the last stop. I loved it.  But yeah that’s gonna be much harder to fine coming from inside town of Vienna.[/quote]

We live in this neighborhood now and it makes all the difference. Pre-pandemic I commuted to DC and it was easy, reliable, and even relaxing. If townhomes aren't your thing (although many are pretty well-priced, 2k+ sq/ft, and in good shape), there is the occasional SFH that pops up around Nottoway Park for 900k-1.2M.

But yeah, commuting by car to DC from the Wolf Trap side of Vienna sounds like a nightmare.[/quote]

We lived in this neighborhood for 10 years and it's fabulous, I recommend it to everyone. We ended up moving to a SFH not far away, but no longer walkable to Metro: parking at the station has always been available when I need it but can take a while to find in that maze of a garage. I agree, the Metro ride is peaceful.[/quote]

We’re thinking about this neighborhood and would love to hear why you loved it.  I was really hoping for a SFH in Vienna but we might be priced out at this point, so we’re considering townhouses.  I’m not as excited about this prospect and would love to hear some good experiences.[/quote]
