1028 Austin Drive is a four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home in Chesapeake, Virginia, offering 2,339 square feet of living space built in 1990. It sits less than a minute from the USCG Finance Center Chesapeake and about thirteen minutes from Norfolk Naval Shipyard — a genuinely rare commute.
What sets 1028 Austin Drive apart is the combination of generous square footage and an almost unbeatable position relative to two military installations. At 2,339 square feet, there's real room to spread out — four bedrooms means a dedicated home office, a guest room, or space for a growing family without compromise. The 1990 build puts it in a mature neighborhood with established trees and settled streets, yet it's close enough to major corridors that daily errands never feel like a production.
WYNNGATE PLACE and the Chesapeake real estate market
Austin Drive sits within Chesapeake, one of the largest cities by land area on the entire East Coast and a place that consistently draws families who want suburban breathing room without sacrificing access to Hampton Roads' broader metro. The surrounding area has the feel of an established residential pocket — streets lined with homes from the late 1980s and early 1990s, mature landscaping, and neighbors who tend to stay put for years. Chesapeake strikes a balance that's hard to find: you're close to the urban energy of Norfolk and Virginia Beach, yet the pace here is noticeably calmer. City services are solid, infrastructure is well-maintained, and the road network fans out efficiently toward every major employment hub in the region. Whether you're heading north toward Norfolk, east toward the oceanfront, or south toward the Outer Banks for a weekend, 1028 Austin Drive in Chesapeake puts you on the right side of traffic.
What's nearby
Day-to-day life around Austin Drive is genuinely convenient. Grocery options, pharmacies, and big-box retail are all within a short drive along the major commercial corridors that serve this part of Chesapeake. Several local parks and greenways give you outdoor options without a long haul, and the broader Great Bridge and Greenbrier areas — both just a few minutes away — add coffee shops, casual dining, and specialty retailers to the mix. Interstate 64 and the Chesapeake Expressway are accessible enough that reaching Virginia Beach, Norfolk, or the Southside takes a predictable amount of time rather than a gamble.
For different buyers

A VA loan can make financing straightforward, and four bedrooms give you the flexibility PCS moves demand.
Room to grow
Four bedrooms and 2,339 square feet give an upgrading family real options — a primary suite with breathing room, dedicated space for kids, and still enough left over for a home office or playroom. The 1990 build means the floor plan flows the way modern families actually live, and the mature neighborhood means your kids are growing up on streets with sidewalks and established community character.
