About Clearbrook / North Roanoke County
Clearbrook and the surrounding North Roanoke County area offer the quintessential suburban experience in the Roanoke Valley. Located north of the city along the Williamson Road and Plantation Road corridors, this established community features well-maintained mid-century homes, mature landscaping, and the kind of neighborhood stability that comes from decades of families putting down roots. For buyers seeking an affordable entry point into Roanoke County's excellent school system, Clearbrook is one of the valley's best-kept secrets.
The housing stock in Clearbrook is predominantly brick ranches and split-levels from the 1960s through 1980s, many of which have been thoughtfully updated while retaining their solid construction and generous floor plans. Prices typically range from the $180s to $350,000, making this one of the most accessible neighborhoods in Roanoke County.
