1021 Fentress Rd, Chesapeake, VA 23322

Why this home stands out

What sets 1021 Fentress Rd apart is the combination of a spacious 0.317-acre lot and single-story layout in a neighborhood that still feels genuinely unhurried.

You're close enough to major employers and everyday conveniences, yet far enough from the congestion that the difference is noticeable the moment you turn onto the street.

FENTRESS and the Chesapeake real estate market

Fentress is one of those Chesapeake neighborhoods that rewards people who take the time to find it. Tucked in the southern part of the city near the Virginia–North Carolina border corridor, it's a low-density residential pocket where lots are measured in tenths of acres rather than square feet. The streets are calm, neighbors tend to know each other, and there's a genuine sense of space that's harder to come by closer to the urban core. If you've been doing a chesapeake city va property search and filtering for elbow room, Fentress tends to surface for good reason. Chesapeake itself is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, which means the southern districts like this one carry a semi-rural character while still connecting you to the full amenity base of a major city — shopping corridors along Battlefield Boulevard, regional medical centers, and a park system that punches well above its weight. The county jurisdiction is independent city of Chesapeake, so you're working within one streamlined local government rather than a county overlay.
