Why this home stands out
Five bedrooms in a home this size — just over 3,300 square feet — means you're not carving up the layout to make the numbers work. Built in 1988, the home carries the bones of late-eighties residential construction: real room dimensions, a proper floor plan, and a lot that gives you breathing room. The Greenbrier Family YMCA is literally two-tenths of a mile away, and three grocery options sit under a mile out. That combination of interior scale and walkable convenience is genuinely hard to find.
WEDGEWOOD ESTATES and the Chesapeake real estate market
Fairway Drive sits in the Greenbrier corridor of Chesapeake — one of the city's most established and self-contained pockets. Greenbrier grew up around its country club and sports infrastructure, and that DNA still shows: you have a YMCA, a country club, a sports park, and a dog park all within half a mile of the front door. The streets here are mature, the lots are generous, and the overall feel is settled rather than transitional. Chesapeake itself is the second-largest city by land area in Virginia, and the Greenbrier section sits near its commercial and civic center, which means you get suburban quiet without sacrificing access. Interstate 64 is close, connecting you quickly to Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and the broader Hampton Roads region. City services — parks, recreation, infrastructure — are well-funded and well-maintained here, which is part of why Greenbrier has held its appeal across decades. If you want a neighborhood that feels complete rather than still-becoming, 1118 Fairway Drive puts you in the right zip code.

For different buyers
For military families relocating
The USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is essentially at the end of the street — about a one-minute drive. Norfolk Naval Shipyard is 13 minutes out, making this address workable for dual-military households or anyone stationed at either installation. A VA loan can make a home this size more accessible than you might expect, and the location means commute stress stays low.
For families upgrading
Five bedrooms and 3,383 square feet give a growing family real room to spread out — dedicated space for a home office, a guest room, and still have bedrooms left over. The Greenbrier Family YMCA is a two-minute walk, Greenbrier Sports Park is just as close, and City Park Dog Park is half a mile away. This is the kind of address where kids can actually have a childhood outside.
