Vienna Woods

Town of Vienna area · Fairfax County, Virginia

Vienna Woods is part of Vienna’s postwar residential landscape, where original detached houses, expanded homes and newer replacement construction share neighborhood streets. Nearby central Vienna adds the W&OD corridor and historic places such as the railway depot and Freeman Store. Property descriptions may use East or West Vienna Woods names, so the individual address is the starting point for identifying a subdivision and municipal services.

The neighborhood and the Town

Vienna Woods’ residential streets reflect the area’s postwar growth and the changes that followed it. Original homes, additions and replacement construction create a mix of house sizes and layouts. East and West Vienna Woods names appear in property descriptions, so an address and parcel record are useful for identifying the particular subdivision.

Central Vienna’s shopping corridor expanded along Maple Avenue during the 1950s. The former railway depot, Freeman Store and Little Library preserve earlier chapters of town history nearby. Town boundaries and mailing addresses are different things; check a home’s municipal jurisdiction when identifying its services.
