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.

Older ranches and new traditionals
Homes here were built after the 1960s and are arranged along traditional suburban streets with cul-de-sacs. There are older ranch-style homes as well as plenty of new traditionals. New subdivision construction is ongoing in the neighborhood, and many of the older homes have undergone recent renovations. Single-family homes typically stay on the market for about a month and sell for $500,000 to $750,000. There are also condos and townhouses available to purchase or rent, with those usually selling for $250,000 to $500,000. Those new to east coast living may need to adjust to the occasional hurricane and tropical storm warnings. Otherwise, expect humid, subtropical weather conditions in the area, with the ocean playing a big part in that.

There’s also a Walmart, Sam’s Club and Kroger in the northwest end of the neighborhood. Residents can head to Central Meats, a local market with a large selection of meat, poultry and seafood. “It’s a massive neighborhood butcher that’s been there for over 50 years,” adds Bryant. “You can get just about any cut of meat you’d want, and they cater as well.” There are also several popular local restaurants like The Egg Bistro with a large brunch menu, Pirate’s Cove for locally sourced seafood and Windy City Pizza for deep dish and traditional pies.

Chesapeake Wine Festival, Virginia Arts Festival
The Chesapeake Wine Festival takes place each October in Chesapeake City Park. Residents can sample a large wine selection, listen to live music and shop from a variety of local vendors. The Chesapeake Arboretum hosts a popular Autumn Festival every year. May is Bikefest month in Chesapeake, featuring highlighted rides on trails in the city. Events like the Virginia Arts Festival draw tens of thousands to several performance venues throughout the area to enjoy world-renowned performers and workshops, along with activities designed just for kids.
Close to I-64 and mass transit hubs
Due to the layout of the City of Chesapeake, with several distinct residential and commercial areas, most residents of Greenbrier East drive to their place of work. But a well-planned street and highway system means relatively short drive times. Norfolk International Airport, one of the largest in the region, is 15 miles north. There are also two nearby Amtrak stations in Norfolk and Newport News that connect with north-south commuter lines.
