Vienna, Virginia

Vienna is a town in Fairfax County, Virginia. The town was originally called Ayr Hill, but that changed in the 1850s, when a doctor named William Hendrick offered to move there if the town would rename itself after his hometown, Vienna, New York.

In July 2005, CNN/Money and Money magazine ranked Vienna fourth on its list of the 100 best places to live in the United States. In addition to a variety of acclaimed public schools, its assets include a downtown with many small businesses, a Washington Metrorail station with large parking garages just south of the town, and a portion of the Washington & Old Dominion Railroad Regional Park hiker/biker trail cutting through the center of the town. Tysons Corner is nearby, as is Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts, making it a town with plenty to do for everyone.
