Blog Post: Neighborhood Profile: Wedderburn Estates
Wedderburn Estates is a new neighborhood currently under construction just outside of the Town of Vienna. Here is detailed information on living in this great community.
New communities in the Vienna and Tysons Corner area in Fairfax County do not come along often, so Wedderburn Estates provides a great opportunity to buy a new home in Vienna. This new neighborhood is located just outside the city limits of the Town of Vienna off Cedar Lane.
The Wedderburn Estates community, when completed, will be 23 all brick or stone single-family homes on approximately 8,000 to 10,000 square foot lots. The neighborhood is being constructed by Courtland Homes, a local Northern Virginia Builder. I would consider Courtland Homes to be more like a large production home build but still has some flexibility of a custom home builder. For more information describing the process of negotiating a home read negotiating with a new home builder in Northern VA.
Let's not forget many of the homes in Wedderburn Estates will back up to the popular bike and walking trail, the W&OD. The Washington and Old Dominion trail was originally a railroad that has been transformed to a 45-mile walking, running, cycling and skating trail. A 32-mile gravel trail runs along part of the paved trail for horseback riding. This is a true treasure in Northern Virginia and offers a great benefit to home owners in the Wedderburn Estates neighborhood who will have an access trail in the neighborhood to the W&OD.
The public schools that service the Wedderburn Estates community are some of the best in the area. Fairfax County has an excellent school system but I do recommend buyers do their 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 Wedderburn Estates are below, but check with the county to verify school districts as the neighborhood is near the district line, which is subject to change.
