Living in Greenbriar

An overview of Greenbriar, its Levitt-era houses, its parks and its western Fairfax location.
Greenbriar is a planned community in western Fairfax County, between the City of Fairfax and Chantilly. Levitt & Sons developed it in the late 1960s on the south side of Route 50, and the original sections still define the area. This page uses the Census-designated place, which is bordered by Route 50 on the north, Chantilly on the west along Stringfellow Road, Fair Lakes on the south and Fair Oaks on the east. That boundary also includes a few later townhouse and condominium communities on the edges, such as Grays Pointe and Birch Pond. Detached houses dominate. They accounted for 65 of 78 sales in the past 12 months, with 7 condominiums and 6 townhouses making up the rest. Most houses that sold were built in the 1960s, with a smaller group from the 1970s, and 13 sales were homes built in the 1980s and 1990s. One local quirk is that nearly every street name in the community begins with M or P. Greenbriar Commons Park hosts a summer Bands in the Park series, and a private pool club with a swim team operates within the community. Chantilly High School sits on Stringfellow Road at the western edge. Shopping centers line Route 50 nearby, and the larger retail centers at Fair Lakes and Fair Oaks Mall are a short drive south and east. The civic association is supported by voluntary annual donations. There is no Metrorail station nearby. Route 50 runs about five miles east to the center of Fairfax, the Fairfax County Parkway is just east, and Interstate 66 is reached through Fair Lakes. Fairfax Connector’s Fair Oaks – Greenbriar route links the area with Inova Fair Oaks Hospital and the Monument Drive transit center, and the Orange Line’s Vienna/Fairfax-GMU station is the nearest rail stop. Check current schedules before planning a commute around the bus. I’m glad to show you how the original Levitt models differ and what updated houses are selling for in Greenbriar.

Location & Neighborhood

South of Route 50 between Fairfax City and Chantilly, just north of Fair Lakes.

The area on this page follows the Greenbriar Census-designated place. Route 50 (Lee Jackson Memorial Highway) is the northern edge. Stringfellow Road runs along the west side, with Chantilly beyond it, Fair Lakes lies to the south and Fair Oaks to the east. Chantilly High School sits inside the western edge on Stringfellow Road, and the interior is the Levitt-built pattern of curving residential streets, schools and parks. The later townhouse and condominium communities, including Grays Pointe and Birch Pond, sit toward the edges of the boundary rather than within the original sections.

In-Depth Market Analysis

Greenbriar Market Insights

How pricing trends, absorption rates, and inventory levels are shaping buying and selling

Inventory & Absorption

Greenbriar recorded 78 closed sales in the 12 months through September 2026, compared with 73 in the prior period. Detached houses accounted for 65, condominiums for 7 and townhouses for 6. The median time on market was 6 days, the same as a year earlier. Turnover is steady, and the short marketing times indicate that available houses have been absorbed quickly.

Pricing Dynamics

The median sale price was about $802,500, up roughly 3 percent from about $780,000. The detached median rose to about $825,000 from $801,500, and the median price per square foot was $384, essentially unchanged. Condominiums had a median near $375,000 on seven sales and townhouses near $669,500 on six. Sales averaged about 101 percent of the original list price.

Buyer Profile

Demand centers on the detached houses, where 47 of 65 sales closed at or above the original list price and the median time on market was 6 days. Detached prices ranged from $539,000 to $1.05 million, a spread that tracks differences in size, condition and updates. Townhouses took a median of about four weeks and condominiums about 11 days, on small counts for both.

Strategic Outlook

Prices have edged up, marketing times are short and about two-thirds of sales closed at or above the original list price, so the direction is steady to slightly firm. The flat price per square foot suggests no sharp shift. The attached segments are too small to read a trend from. Buyers of detached houses should expect competition for updated properties, and conditions can change with rates.

Market Position Overview:

Inventory Level: Balanced with selective competition

Negotiation Environment: Moderate flexibility

Typical Days on Market: 25-45 (well-priced units)

Rental Demand: Consistent due to transit proximity

Long- Term Outlook: Stable, walkability-driven value

Greenbriar Housing & Architecture

Greenbriar is a Levitt & Sons community from the late 1960s, with a few later attached-home developments along its edges.
Levitt & Sons Houses
Levitt & Sons developed Greenbriar in the late 1960s. Houses built in that decade were 46 of 78 recent sales, and they set the scale and layout of nearly every street in the original community.
1970s Sections
Another 19 recent sales were built in the 1970s as the community was completed. These houses follow the same general pattern of detached homes on similar lots along curving residential streets.
Updated and Expanded Houses
Detached sales ranged from $539,000 to $1.05 million. Size, additions and the level of updating vary widely, so comparing recent sales of similar houses matters when pricing.
Townhouse Communities
Six townhouses sold in the past year at a median near $669,500. They are in later communities on the edges of the boundary, listed under names such as Grays Pointe and Birch Pond.
Condominiums
Seven condominiums sold between $286,000 and $425,500, with a median near $375,000. They provide the lowest-priced entry inside the boundary and sit apart from the original detached sections.
Parks and Pool
Greenbriar Commons Park hosts the summer Bands in the Park series. A private pool club with a swim team operates in the community; the club does not sell memberships directly, so ask whether one conveys with a sale.
