Those looking to relocate to Northern VA should consider buying a home or condo in Vienna and partake in the life style it affords its resident. Vienna has something to satisfy anyone and live in style whether the Town of Vienna or the high pace business district of Tysons Corner. Residents of Vienna have access to multiple commuter Metro lines, world known business district, world class restaurants, outstanding shopping, excellent public and private schools, and easy access to our nation’s capital.
The Town of Vienna is one mile southwest of Tysons corner and has numerous restaurants, shopping, and any other business or service one needs. Maple Ave. (Rt123) runs through the heart of Vienna and has chains like Whole Foods, Outback, Fresh Market and several Starbucks. The heart and soul of the Town of Vienna is made up of the local business’s likeMaplewood Grill, Cenans Bakery, Bazin’s on Churchand Jammin Java to just name a few. This area is a truly walkable community and offers events year round like its Oktoberfest, Town Green Concert Series, 4th of July fireworks, and the annual Halloween Parade. Here is more information on the walkability of the Town of Vienna, Walking in Vienna .
Tysons Corner is a world known Business District in Northern VA because of the many recognizable corporations that are headquartered or have major regional offices in the area. There are plenty of companies in Tysons Corner like Booz Allen Hamilton, Capital One, Freddie Mac, Gannett, Hilton, MicroSrategy, SAIC, Spacenet, and USA Today have their Corporate Headquarters located here. These along with countless other corporations who have office located in Tysons Corner make this area a giant in almost any industry. With commute times only expected to increase in the DC Metro area many are looking to live close to the office. Those searching for a more urban lifestyle can consider purchasing a condo centrally located in Tysons corner. Tysons Corner is split with part located in Vienna and part considered Mclean, another great area in Northern VA but all in Fairfax County.
Ayr Hill Heights neighborhood is just north of the Town of Vienna and comprises of 58 homes built from the mid 50’s to the early 60’s. The neighborhood is approximately 1 mile from the businesses on Church Street and Maple Avenue but still in walking distance. This is less convenient access but allows for less street traffic as opposed to the neighborhoods that are within a block or two. Like much of Vienna in the most recent decade some of the original homes have been torn down and more modern larger Colonial or Adirondack style homes have been built. With Vienna lot prices increasing it can make financial sense to tear down rather than remodel the existing older home. There are many opportunities for buyers looking to build a custom home or buy an existing small rambler in the Town of Vienna, contact me to visit the listing currently availability in Vienna.

A great opportunity has arrived for home buyers, 9207 Battle St has just been listed, and is located in Old Town Manassas within a sought after two block radius. This Cape Cod has everything to live in style including crown molding, hand laid ceramic tile, beautiful hard wood floors, and lots of character.

With the reality of Global Warmingand the need for people to spend less time on the road and more time with family, popularity of communities with walkability are on the rise. Old Town Manassas is one of these communities that have restaurants, shopping, community events, museums, and many other activities within walking distance to many residential homes. The biggest benefit not mentioned is the access to the VRE, Virginia Railway Express, the commuter train that runs from Broad Run to Washington DC’s Union Station. This is a major benefit to a walking community like Old Town Manassas to have a commuter train station.
With the train commuters can enjoy the commuting time more because it allows people to work, read, or even catch some shut eye on the way to work. Mass transit like this also can have less stress on commuters who otherwise would be stuck in traffic. The other benefit for using mass transit is for the environment and generating less carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. The truth about our environment is obvious and becoming more important to many people and businesses.
The communities with restaurants, shopping and events allow people to become more involved then they otherwise would. Many families are also looking to enjoy more time together which can be realized in a community that has these things within walking distance. Take for example the number of meals Americans eat out and the benefit people will gain by simply walking to those restaurants. This is also true for retail business and other service related businesses like insurance, attorneys, CPA’s and many others.
While searching for a new home it is smart to find an area that holds its prices better then most to protect the value of a home. These communities on average hold there value much better then areas that do not have such benefits and that is great for the value in a declining market. The challenge is with a demand for these communities the prices are generally higher then other areas. Whether it is this type of community that fits your needs or something else make sure you have a knowledgeable agentto help consult in that purchase.

The Ayr Hill subdivision is small with just 54 properties but occupies an excellent location in the North East section of the Town of Vienna (see map). The Ayr Hill community, like many in the Town of Vienna, is an excellent walking community with easy access to many businesses on Church St. and Maple Ave. Many of the original homes were built in the 40’s and 50’s and the remainder being build through the decades since. In the most recent decade many of the original homes, particularly on Ayr Hill Ave, have been torn down and more modern larger Colonial or Adirondack style homes have been built. The location of this walkable community is highly sought after with newer homes or custom homes being priced from 1.2 to 2.2 million.

As I get older I find that friends and family speak less amd less about their dreams and goals. I also see new REALTORS enter the business with dreams of making it big and living the life as seen on HG TV. Gary Woltal in The Dallas Ft Worth area explains the challenge why so many falter on the way to accomplishing their dreams. I find that many people lack the drive and work ethic to accomplish their lofty dreams. The most important aspect like Gary says below is that most do not TRULY BELIEVE they can achieve their goal and it starts there.....Read Below
Dreams are an interesting topic to think about. So much about the world around us is embedded in REALITY. Many people if you are a dreamer will tell you to get your head out of the clouds or quit being in Lah Lah land. Did you know the biggest dreamers are the most curious about life? They do not lose their childlike wonder. They embrace imagination and tap into their passionate side quite often and don't let their practical side get the best of them. They listen to their heart.
I've noted too and this is a very important concept that
Dreams Take Work But More Importantly Take BELIEF.
Dreams can be very fragile. Poof they can be gone if you don't hold on to them. Think of all the areas for your visions of tomorrow: vacation ideas, home you want to live in, where you live, lifestyle, what your love life looks like, who that person is that gives you that overall loved feeling, what your ideal job is, working through your bucket list of things you want to do in life, etc.
But with this fragile nature of dreams, and I have seen this with buyers crushed that they could not buy a house due to not qualifying or not buy a house for years with bad credit, you DO have to persist with the work toward the dream and ABSOLUTELY have a belief that you can bring it to fruition. Allowing of course for the possibilities of some dreams not coming your way due to parts of the plan "out of your control" I am one out there who thinks DREAMS REALLY DO COME TRUE.
That last statement is easy to make but maybe suspect in the real world you might say based on observation to be true. BECAUSE as we all know
Dreams can be delayed
Dreams can be shelved for the time being
Dreams can be abandoned due to neglecting their attention
You can think a dream is impossible or at best improbable
You can be distracted in life and forget about the roadmap to get to your dream
Hope can be lost and your energy wanes as a dream slips away
You can think you DON'T DESERVE your dream
Dreams can be forgotten
And the WORST OF ALL, you GAVE UP on your dream due to not listening to your heart!!!
I think I just listed the Murphy's Law capsule for dreams going astray. But you know in life, other than those uncontrollables I mentioned,
.......... if you can dream it you can achieve it!!
NEVER give up on a dream if it is what you want. YOU SO DESERVE IT.
The topics here can encompass just about anything but will normally revolve around the Real Estate market in general. There will be posts specific to the Vienna and Northern Virginia real estate market, and any questions are welcome. Please be warned there will be times I get on my “soap box” and there will be shrapnel because I do not discriminate.
