Annexed from Roanoke County in 1976 in order to connect to the city's water/sewer service, the neighborhood is predominantly residential with commercial developments located at its edges.[2] Although the majority of its development has occurred post World War Two, both the historic Belle Aire and Lone Oaks estates are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2] Because these two 19th century estates were constructed by Benjamin Deyerle, the neighborhood is named after him.
