Vienna

Vienna is served by three residential zip codes: 22180, 22181, and 22182. (22183 is also associated with Vienna but is a PO Box–only zip with no residential addresses, and 22185 is a non-residential administrative zip.)

Settled in 1754 and incorporated in 1890, Vienna sits about 15 miles west of Washington, D.C. in Fairfax County, according to the town's own government website. It's genuinely one of the more competitive, tightly held markets in Northern Virginia — a combination of established neighborhoods, a recognizable historic town center, direct Metro access, and consistently limited resale inventory.

Metro Access and Getting Around Vienna is served by the Vienna/Fairfax-GMU Metro station (Orange Line), with the Dunn Loring-Merrifield station also relevant for some Vienna-area addresses. Commute routes vary meaningfully by zip code — 22182 addresses tend to sit closer to Tysons and the Silver Line, while 22180 and 22181 lean closer to the Vienna/Fairfax-GMU station itself.

Historic Church Street and Downtown Vienna's walkable historic core centers on Church Street, anchored by the Freeman Store and Museum (built 1859, restored 1976) — a genuine town landmark that still hosts exhibits today. Just across the street, a restored red caboose sits along the W&OD Trail, a 45-mile paved trail that runs directly through town and connects Vienna to Arlington, Falls Church, and beyond. The surrounding blocks are lined with local shops, restaurants, and some of the town's oldest architecture, including several historic churches.

Nearby Attractions Just outside town, Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts is the only national park in the country dedicated to the performing arts — a genuine point of local pride. Meadowlark Botanical Gardens, home to the first Korean bell pavilion on the East Coast, sits nearby as well.

Schools Vienna is served by Fairfax County Public Schools, but — as with much of Fairfax County — specific school assignments vary by exact address and can differ even between two homes in the same zip code. We always recommend verifying school zoning directly using the FCPS boundary locator before making a decision on a specific property.
