At a glance

Meet 1145 Sunlight Drive — a 4-bedroom, 2-bath, 2,494-square-foot home built in 1973 in Chesapeake, Virginia 23322. With quick access to USCG Finance Center Chesapeake and Norfolk Naval Shipyard, plus everyday conveniences close by, this address delivers solid Southern Chesapeake living.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 1145 Sunlight Drive apart is the combination of generous square footage — nearly 2,500 square feet across four bedrooms — and a location that quietly delivers on every practical front. Built in 1973, the home carries the sturdy bones of that era on a residential street in Chesapeake's 23322 zip code, where lot sizes tend to breathe and neighbors tend to stay. It's the kind of address that works hard without asking you to compromise.

INLAND COLONY and the Chesapeake real estate market

Sunlight Drive sits in the southern reaches of Chesapeake, a city that consistently ranks among the safest and most livable in Virginia. This part of 23322 has a settled, suburban feel — wide streets, mature trees, and a pace that lets you actually enjoy your evenings. Chesapeake itself is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, which means you get room to spread out without sacrificing urban convenience. The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge is a short drive south for weekend hiking and kayaking. Downtown Chesapeake's Greenbrier corridor is north for dining, shopping, and entertainment. Families comparing homes for sale in Chesapeake often land in this zip code specifically because it offers that rare balance: close enough to Norfolk and Virginia Beach for work and play, far enough away for quiet evenings at home. The 23322 community has a genuine neighborhood identity, and Sunlight Drive fits right into that character.

What's nearby

Day-to-day errands are easy from 1145 Sunlight Drive. Grocery Outlet and ALDI are both under a mile away, so stocking the kitchen never turns into a production. Newton Neck Park and Kevin Houston Park at Cedarwood are each about 0.9 miles out — walkable on a good afternoon and great for kids or dogs. Quick-bite options like McDonald's and Hardee's are right around the corner at 0.9 miles, and a 7-Eleven is 0.8 miles away when you need coffee before the commute kicks in. Everything you reach for on a Tuesday is genuinely close.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is just seven minutes from the front door, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is a 14-minute drive — making 1145 Sunlight Drive a practical fit for active-duty households on either installation.
