Biohazard and Crime Scene Remediation in Greenbriar, VA

Greenbriar is an unincorporated census-designated place in western Fairfax County, Virginia, sitting between the city of Fairfax and Chantilly.

Greenbriar was developed beginning in the late 1960s by Levitt and Sons, the famous builders of Levittown; home sales opened on October 15, 1966, the first home was occupied in July 1967, and construction was completed in 1971.

Roughly 1,800 homes were built in Greenbriar, and the project marked Levitt and Sons' return to the Virginia housing market for the first time since 1943.

Greenbriar is famous for a street-naming quirk: because Levitt named streets alliteratively by section — M names in the Middle Ridge section and P names in Point Pleasant — Acorn Hill, added in 1994, is the only road in the community whose name does not start with M or P.

The Census Bureau first listed Greenbriar as a census-designated place in the 2010 census, carving it out of the Chantilly CDP.

Greenbriar had 8,421 residents at the 2020 census, up 3.1 percent from 8,166 in 2010, living in 3,021 households.

Census Bureau figures put Greenbriar's median household income at about $127,100, and about 62.6 percent of its adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher.

U.S. Route 50 forms Greenbriar's northern border, about 5 miles west of the center of Fairfax and 22 miles west of downtown Washington, D.C.

Community life centers on places like Greenbriar Commons Park, where the civic association hosts summer Bands in the Park concerts, and the community pool, home of the Greenbriar Dolphins swim team.

In an unusual arrangement, Greenbriar's pool club does not sell memberships itself — new residents buy their pool memberships from departing members, often through listings in the community newspaper, the Greenbriar Flyer.
