GREENBRIER and the Chesapeake real estate market
1404 River Birch Run S sits in Chesapeake, one of the largest cities by land area in the entire United States — and one that consistently earns recognition for livability, low crime, and well-maintained infrastructure.

The surrounding area blends suburban comfort with genuine convenience, putting you close to the Greenbrier corridor without dropping you into the middle of it.
