Community without curbs on City of Roanoke’s westernmost edge
On the westernmost edge of the City of Roanoke sits Greater Deyerle. Locals like the area for its rural character – the Blue Ridge Mountains are visible from every angle, brush sways in valley wind and many residential roads don’t have sidewalks or curbs. Grass sprawling and sloped lawns touch curved and cracked two-lane roads, and small lakes and streams flow throughout the area. The neighborhood’s population has shifted over the last 50 years as it has transitioned from a sparse rural neighborhood to a suburban community with about 3,800 residents surrounded by commercial development. Realtor with MKB Realtors and Roanoke local Scott Avis describes the area as, “a country neighborhood. It’s very friendly and family-oriented in a beautiful area.”

Easy access to Electric Road
Aside from the buses that run along Brandon Avenue, Greater Deyerle is largely car-dependent, even on residential roads, most of which lack curbs. Two-lane Mud Lick Road is the neighborhood’s main arterial street. It connects two of Roanoke’s main thoroughfares, Brandon Avenue and Grandin Road. On the neighborhood’s western border, the four-lane Electric Road divides the City of Roanoke and Roanoke County. This is Roanoke’s closest thing to a beltway, forming a semicircle from north to south around the City’s western edge. In case of emergency, Greater Deyerle borders LewisGale Medical Center. And when it’s time to fly, the Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport is about 7 miles north.

Post-war housing in a rural setting
Greater Deyerle began as a rural community. “Over time, the city has expanded towards the county,” Avis explains. “They’ve taken old farms and cut them up into neighborhoods.” Suburban development boomed after World War II, with almost 92% of the neighborhood’s structures built after 1945 and the greatest development occurring during the 1950s. Over half of the neighborhood’s homes are single-story, but there are also a few Colonial Revival and split-level houses throughout the area. Most properties were constructed between 1950 and 1975. The neighborhood maintains its rural feel, with homes on large lots and sloping landscapes. Most residential streets lack shoulders, curbs, gutters or sidewalks and end in cul-de-sacs or have dead ends. Potential homebuyers can find a single-family home in Greater Deyerle for between $250,000 and $700,000, depending on the size, age and condition of the property. Some condos and townhouses are also available, with prices around $250,000. There are also five apartment complexes and a retirement facility – Brandon Oaks – in the neighborhood.

Garden City Park, Hidden Valley Country Club and Skate Center of Roanoke Valley

Shopping and dining along Electric Road and Brandon Avenue
Along Electric Road, locals can grocery shop at Food Lion or eat out at various sit-down and fast-casual restaurants. They can get morning coffee from Starbucks or Dunkin’ or have a nice meal at Ichiban Japanese Steakhouse. Brandon Avenue is another place with various services, including Mama Jean’s Barbecue, which is more akin to a food truck than a typical eatery. Still, there’s always a line. Los Arcos, the neighborhood’s Mexican restaurant, is another go-to for a quick lunch or dinner.
