Why this home stands out
With 2,538 square feet spread across a well-proportioned floor plan, this 2009-built home gives you room to actually live — not just exist.

The Briars Landing address puts you in a quiet pocket of Chesapeake without sacrificing convenience.
SOMMERTON and the Chesapeake real estate market
Chesapeake is one of the largest cities by land area on the entire East Coast, and that scale translates into something residents genuinely appreciate: breathing room. Briars Landing sits in the 23320 zip code, a central Chesapeake corridor that balances suburban calm with easy access to major roads like Interstate 64 and the Chesapeake Expressway. You're not fighting through dense urban traffic to reach everyday essentials — groceries, pharmacies, and restaurants are all within a short drive. The city itself carries a strong sense of community, with well-maintained neighborhoods, abundant green space, and a population that tends to put down roots. Whether you're drawn to the Great Dismal Swamp for weekend hiking, the waterways for kayaking, or simply the lower-stress pace compared to neighboring Norfolk or Virginia Beach, Chesapeake consistently delivers. It's the kind of place where the commute feels manageable, the neighbors wave back, and the square footage you get for your investment goes noticeably further than in denser parts of Hampton Roads.
