Accepted Answer

The typical home value in 71235 is approximately $173K, based on recent Zillow Research ZHVI data. ZHVI reflects the 35th–65th percentile price range, not a simple median. This places 71235 below the metro median — buyers may find more value here than in higher-scoring ZIP codes, though the lower scores reflect trade-offs in crime and school quality. Median rent in 71235 is available in the Full Market Report. Prices fluctuate with market conditions; Zillow data reflects trailing sale prices, not current listing prices.

Question 4

Is 71235 a good place to live?

Accepted Answer

ZIP code 71235 has an overall NeighborScore of 47/100, which is below average for the Vienna metro. The score weights crime (40%), schools (35%), and relative property value (25%). A score below 60 typically reflects above-average crime rates, below-average school proficiency, or both — though the property value component may show strong relative value (more home per dollar). Reviewing the component scores and the Full Reports for crime, schools, and real estate separately will give a clearer picture than the composite alone.
