1129 Hazel Ave, Chesapeake, VA 23325

Why this home stands out

What sets 1129 Hazel Ave apart is the combination of mid-century bones and a floor plan that actually fits modern life — four bedrooms and three full baths plus a half bath across 2,000 square feet is generous for a home of this era. The 1947 vintage means solid construction, and the location puts two major installations within a seven-minute drive, which is a rare convenience in this part of Hampton Roads.

NORFOLK HIGHLANDS and the Chesapeake real estate market

Hazel Ave sits in a quiet residential pocket of Chesapeake, a city that consistently draws buyers who want space, stability, and a lower-key pace than Virginia Beach or Norfolk without sacrificing access to either. This part of Chesapeake — zip code 23325 — straddles the border with Portsmouth, which is exactly why the commute times to the shipyard and the Coast Guard base are so short. The streets here have a lived-in, established feel: mature trees, modest lot sizes, and neighbors who tend to stay put. Chesapeake as a whole is one of the larger independent cities in the country by land area, and that scale gives it a range of character — from rural farmland in the south to tight, walkable corridors like this one in the north. Families comparing homes for sale in Chesapeake often land here once they realize how much ground you can cover in a short drive.
