About Greenbriar

The Greenbriar Townhouses, Inc., is a housing co-op, providing its shareholders with a unique kind of home ownership. Rather than owning a townhouse outright, each member buys a share in the co-op’s non-profit corporation. Shareholders have the right to occupy a townhouse for as long as they remain members of the co-op.

Greenbriar consists of 16 residential buildings on 10 tree-shaded acres in the Sandia foothills, all owned and managed by co-op members. The buildings include 160 2-floor townhouses, each occupied by a person or family who is a shareholder in the cooperative. There are 96 two-bedroom townhomes with approximately 900 sq. ft. each and 64 three-bedroom townhomes with approximately 1100 sq. ft. each.

Additional co-op amenities include a small community library, a swimming pool, playground, and a community meeting room. Schools, churches, movie theaters, a branch library, post office, and public transportation all are easily accessible, and foothills biking and hiking trails are just moments away.

Best of all are our neighbors — each other. Greenbriar is a true community, where members regularly socialize together. Aside from the fact that we have to work together to keep Greenbriar alive and well, we genuinely like and care about each other. The welfare of each and every member of Greenbriar directly affects the entire community.

Families

Greenbriar is a great place to raise a family. It’s like a small town in many ways—we know each other and we know each other’s children too. And kids love our playground and pool!

Chelwood Elementary School is literally right around the corner—an easy 5-minute walk. When your child graduates, s/he will go to Jackson Middle School and from there, on to Manzano High School.

Pets

Greenbriar is generally quite pet-friendly; folks can be seen walking their dogs throughout the day, and many of us know our neighbors’ pets as well as we know their owners. There is no additional charge for pets meeting Greenbriar size and breed requirements.

Size and Breed Requirements

Members may have two pets such as dogs, cats or one of each. A dog must be 50 lbs. or less when fully grown. Birds, fish, turtles, hamsters, gerbils and guinea pigs are limited to one cage and/or tank per unit.

Members are required to provide proof that each dog or cat has a current rabies vaccination and a microchip, and has been spayed or neutered. Service or therapy dog owners must provide appropriate documentation showing that their service/therapy animal is trained and certified.

Dogs must be on a leash at all times. Cats must be kept indoors or in the patio area. Additionally, owners are expected to thoroughly clean up their pets’ waste, whether in common areas or in their own units/yards.

Animals specifically not allowed at Greenbriar include rabbits, ferrets, reptiles (with the exception of turtles), insects, spiders, mice, and exotics.

Greenbriar is a Non-Smoking Property

Members of the co-op voted to prohibit smoking within Greenbriar units in 2017. Smoking is permitted in three specific outdoor areas on Greenbriar grounds, each some distance from any units.
