1149 Beaver Dam Rd, Chesapeake, VA 23322

Why this home stands out

What sets 1149 Beaver Dam Road apart is the combination of scale and seclusion. More than three acres in the 23322 zip code is genuinely rare — you get a full suburban address with city services while the tree line gives you the feel of a private retreat. The 2009 construction means the bones are modern: current code, energy-efficient systems, and a layout sized for real life at 3,589 square feet with four bedrooms and three and a half baths.

HICKORY and the Chesapeake real estate market

Hickory is one of Chesapeake's most sought-after communities — a low-density, largely residential corridor in the city's southwestern quadrant where larger lots are the norm and the pace of life slows down the moment you turn off the main road. Beaver Dam Road itself runs through a stretch of mature trees and spacious properties, giving the area a semi-rural character that's hard to find this close to everything. Chesapeake is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, and Hickory sits in the part of the city that leans into that space. You're in a genuine neighborhood — not a dense subdivision — and the surrounding blocks reflect that. Families comparing Chesapeake homes for sale often land in Hickory precisely because it balances acreage with accessibility: you're never far from shopping, dining, or major commuter routes, but the neighborhood itself stays quiet.

What's nearby

Daily life is well-supported from this address. Greenbrier's retail corridor — anchored by grocery stores, pharmacies, and a wide range of restaurants — sits roughly 15 minutes north. The Chesapeake City Park and Northwest River Park both offer outdoor recreation within a reasonable drive, and Northwest River Park in particular is a standout for kayaking, camping, and trail hiking. Harbour View and Western Branch add additional dining and shopping options to the west. For coffee runs, local spots and national chains cluster along Battlefield Boulevard, which serves as the main commercial spine connecting Hickory to the rest of Chesapeake.
