1149 Waters Rd, Chesapeake, VA 23322

Why this home stands out

Five bedrooms and more than 5,600 square feet on an acre and a half is a combination that's genuinely hard to find in Great Bridge. Most homes in this zip code top out well before either threshold — 1149 Waters Road clears both. The lot alone sets it apart: room for a pool, a garden, a detached workshop, or simply the kind of breathing space that a quarter-acre subdivision lot can never replicate. Add three full baths plus a half bath and you have a home that handles a large household without anyone waiting in line.

GREAT BRIDGE and the Chesapeake real estate market

Great Bridge sits in the southern tier of Chesapeake, Virginia, and it has a character all its own — established tree lines, winding roads that open onto generous lots, and a community identity strong enough that longtime residents still say 'Great Bridge' before they say 'Chesapeake.' The area grew steadily through the 1990s and 2000s, which means the housing stock is mature but not dated, and the streets feel lived-in rather than freshly stamped out of a master plan. Waters Road itself runs through one of the quieter pockets of the neighborhood, where 1.5-acre parcels are the norm rather than the exception. Chesapeake as a city delivers low crime rates, responsive city services, and no state income tax on military retirement pay — details that matter when you're comparing great bridge chesapeake va against other Hampton Roads markets. If you're browsing homes for sale in Chesapeake, the 23322 zip code consistently draws buyers who want suburban scale without sacrificing proximity to the rest of the region.
