Why this home stands out

For buyers who want a foothold in a mature, tree-lined community close to the water and two major bases, 100 Columbus Ave delivers exactly that.

Chesapeake itself is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, which means Western Branch residents get a suburban feel without sacrificing access to major employment centers, medical facilities, and recreation. The Western Branch area sits in the northwest corner of Chesapeake, bordered by the Western Branch of the Elizabeth River — giving the whole community a quiet, slightly removed quality that residents genuinely appreciate.
