Blog Post: Neighborhood Profile: Ayr Hill

The Ayr Hill neighborhood is conveniently located within walking distance to everything the Town of Vienna has to offer. Read this article for more information on living in Westwood Manor.

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 Street and Maple Avenue. Many of the original homes were built in the '40s and '50s and the remainder being built through the decades since. In the most recent decade, many of the original homes, particularly on Ayr Hill Avenue, 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 million to $2.2 million. 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 available in Vienna or to meet with any local builders.

There are many culinary experiences within walking distance of the Ayr Hill subdivision to satisfy most cravings. Below is a list of some of the more celebrated restaurants that residents of Ayr Hill are able to visit with a short stroll.

The public schools that service the Ayr Hill community are some of the best in the area. Fairfax County has an excellent school system but I do recommend doing research when looking to be in a specific school district. There are many aspects of what makes a great school and a good tool is my article, What Are The Best Schools in Northern VA. The public schools for Ayr Hill are below, check with the county to verify school districts

The value and desirability of the homes in the Ayr Hill subdivision is derived from its location, so let's not forget location, location, location. This Vienna neighborhood is centrally located to shopping, restaurants, mass transit, interstates, and many other activities. The Town of Vienna and all it has to offer is a block away with numerous restaurants, shopping, and any other business or service one needs. Maple Avenue runs through the heart of Vienna and has big names like Whole FoodsOutback, and several Starbucks. The heart and soul of Vienna is made up of the local businesses like Maplewood GrillCenans Bakery,Bazin’s on Church and Jammin Java to just name a few. The Town of Vienna is a truly walkable community and offers events year round like its Oktoberfest, Fourth of July fireworks and the Halloween Parade.
