A southeast Roanoke enclave with walkability to schools and parks
Developed between the 1920s and ‘60s, Grandin Court is a southwest Roanoke neighborhood with well-established character and suburban convenience. A 15-foot-tall red, stucco kettle sits atop The Coffee Pot, a nearly century-old roadhouse along Brambleton Avenue, the neighborhood’s main road lined with numerous longstanding establishments. Murray Run Greenway is a 2-mile gravel path connecting the neighborhood’s three parks, James Madison Middle School and Virginia Western Community College. Crowds cheer during Friday night football games at Patrick Henry High, just off Grandin Road, while Grandin Court Elementary has a wooded 11-acre plot along Spessard Avenue. “Kids can walk to elementary, middle and high school,” says Bob Chandler, a real estate agent with MKB Realtors, who has sold several homes in the area. “You won’t see many people walking along Brambleton because it doesn’t have sidewalks, but the rest of the neighborhood is walkable because of the greenway.”
Brambleton Avenue is a convenient road leading from Grandin Court to Cave Spring.

Well-maintained homes dating back to the 1920s
Early 20th-century and midcentury homes dot Grandin Court’s hilly sidewalk-lined streets. Concrete stairs ascend to four-bedroom American Foursquare houses. White picket fences or stone walls surround Tudor cottages on 10,000-square-foot lots. Paved driveways lead to carports alongside red-brick ranch styles. Colonial Revivals have manicured front lawns with mature red oak trees and ornamental shrubs. Buying here typically costs between $250,000 and $400,000, a range similar to a Roanoke home’s average $300,000 selling price. “Southwest Roanoke is the most desirable part of the city, and Grandin Court specifically has beautifully maintained houses,” says Chandler. “I’ve sold a few houses here that weren’t even on the market for a week.”
Some American foursquare homes in Grandin Court boast spacious wrap-around front porches.

The Murray Run Greenway spans from Shrine Hill Park to Virginia Western Community College
Tennis courts dot 9-acre Shrine Hill Park, also home to a trailhead for the Murray Run Greenway. As residents follow the path south, they’ll pass Patrick Henry High’s baseball diamond and Woodlawn Park, a 6-acre hardwood forest reserve. A bright green playground and a 9-hole disc golf course are at Fishburn Park, which has two of its own half-mile nature trails. One is a creekside option for hikers, and the other is a sloping mountain biking path. The Rad Shack is a shaved ice trailer that sits near the park's entryway throughout the summer, serving flavors like mango and cotton candy in Styrofoam cups. “Fishburn Park is the most popular of the three,” says Chandler. “People who don’t live in Grandin Court go there pretty frequently, and there’s almost always a line outside the shaved ice place.” The greenway ends near James Madison Middle and Virginia Western Community College. An asphalt basketball court is outside the Grandin Court Recreation Center on Barham Road. After-school tutoring is held inside every day for elementary students.
Murray Run Greenway is about a 3.2 mile loop connecting three different parks.
The playrgound at Fishburn Park is a fun place for kids in the Grandin Court neighborhood.

Longstanding establishments line Brambleton Avenue
Numerous stand-alone storefronts are along two-lane Brambleton Avenue in the neighborhood’s southern region. Originally opened as a roadhouse in 1936, The Coffee Pot is a dive bar and live music venue with past performers, including Willie Nelson and Dickey Betts. Deb’s Frozen Lemonade has served citrus slushies, soft pretzels and popcorn from its bright yellow storefront since 1977. Wine bottles and locally sourced coffee beans fill the wood shelves of Gladheart, a locally owned spirits shop. B & D has piles of vintage superhero comic books, retro video games and collectible toys. An Asian market and a Family Dollar are on the street, but a more comprehensive grocery selection is 2 miles away at the Kroger in the Cave Spring Corner shopping center. Aside from restaurants and retailers, Grandin Court Baptist Church’s white steeple and adjoining red-brick preschool have sprawled across Brambleton Avenue since 1945. One of Roanoke’s top employers, Carillion Clinic, has a Georgian-style corporate office on the street. However, the nearest hospital, The Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital, is 3 miles east on Belleview Avenue.
The Coffee Pot in Grandin Court has a history of good times and beverages with music and pool.
