The Greater Deyerle neighborhood is located in the southwestern portion of the City of Roanoke adjacent to the City of Salem and Roanoke County. It is bounded by Brandon Avenue, Electric Road (US 419), and Grandin Road. The neighborhood is south of the Lewis-Gale Medical Center and Hospital.

​

The Greater Deyerle neighborhood encompasses numerous subdivisions and areas that in the past were referred to as neighborhoods unto themselves. As the area has grown from development, both within and on the outskirts of these boundaries, common characteristics and issues have brought the community together, as reflected by the representation of the Greater Deyerle Neighborhood Association (GDNA).  Although the commercial and industrial district north of Brandon Avenue in included in the City of Roanoke Greater Deyerle Neighborhood 2020 Vision Plan - they are not included as part of the GDNA.

Greater Deyerle is approximately 2.5 square miles in size and has a rolling topography with numerous small lakes, green space, streams, and pasture land. It has a population of nearly 4,000 people and a lower population density than that of most Roanoke neighborhoods. The area is largely residential that has transitioned over the last 50 years from a sparsely populated rural area to a low-density suburban community surrounded by commercial development on its edges.
