Greenbrier East presents a combination of modern urban living with suburban flair. The neighborhood is west of Chesapeake's downtown and city administrative offices. The community covers about 18 square miles, with the southeast section remaining mostly undeveloped woodlands. There are several lakes in and adjoining the neighborhood, and the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean is a mere 10 miles to the east. “It’s one of those neighborhoods that everyone wants to be in,” says Russell Bryant, a Team Lead with Creed Realty, and a longtime resident of Hampton Roads who’s been selling homes in the area for nearly 15 years. “It’s a great segway for those who want a more suburban life away from the hustle and bustle of the city, without going too deep into rural Chesapeake.”
Greenbrier East is full of retail shopping and outdoor activities.
