Lyon Park History & Neighborhoods Nearby
Lyon Park grew up with the streetcar and commuter rail lines that carried people into Washington. In 2003 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Lyon Park Historic District, with more than 1,100 contributing buildings. The Virginia Department of Historic Resources calls it the county's largest group of Colonial Revival buildings from the years between the two world wars.
Lyon Park is not a county historic district, so owners have more freedom to renovate or rebuild. Buyers who like Lyon Park often look at Ashton Heights to the west and Clarendon and Courthouse to the north, too. Which one fits is a matter of preference.
