1106 Maryview Ave, Chesapeake, VA 23324

Why this home stands out

Built in 1948, this 1,328-square-foot single-family home carries the solid bones that mid-century Chesapeake construction is known for — real plaster walls, a tight footprint that's easy to heat and cool, and a lot that gives you genuine outdoor space without an overwhelming maintenance load. Three bedrooms and one bath keep the layout honest and livable, and the location does the heavy lifting: Norfolk Naval Shipyard is literally six minutes away, making this one of the closest residential streets to the yard in the city.

PORTLOCK TERRACE and the Chesapeake real estate market

Maryview Avenue sits in the Portlock area of South Chesapeake — a straightforward, no-frills neighborhood where people actually know their neighbors and front porches still get used. The streets here are quiet without feeling isolated, and the surrounding blocks have a mix of long-time owners and families who discovered that this corner of Chesapeake punches above its weight for accessibility. Chesapeake itself is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, stretching from the North Carolina border up to the Elizabeth River, and the southern neighborhoods near the Shipyard have a distinct character — closer to the water, closer to work, and a little more grounded than the newer subdivisions further west. If you're comparing Chesapeake homes for sale and proximity to the base is a priority, Maryview Avenue is hard to beat. The city offers solid infrastructure, its own school system, and a parks network that reaches right into this neighborhood.
