Home to dining, retail and healthcare options, the Veranda is a one-stop shop for most of your needs with three dining options and nine convenient services. That’s why we consider it the “front porch” of our community. Grab a burger from Town Hall Burger & Beer or have brunch at Breakaway Cafe before heading over to Parkway Family Dentistry or Triangle Visions Optometry for your appointment.

Briar Chapel prides itself on building sustainable homes and setting a standard for healthy living. All Briar Chapel homes are NGBS-Green Certified, and we have installed 53 solar panel systems over the history of our community. Not only do sustainable living principles benefit the planet, but they also save residents money. Since Briar Chapel’s creation, residents have saved more than $6.2 million on their energy bills. This is the equivalent of the carbon from 4.7 million gallons of gasoline or the cost of 365,000 pizzas from Capps Pizzeria in Veranda!
