Why this home stands out
Five bedrooms and 3.5 baths across more than 5,600 square feet already sets 1149 Waters Road apart, but the 1.5-acre lot is the real story. In a region where most suburban lots are measured in fractions of an acre, this kind of elbow room is genuinely rare. You get the conveniences of an established Great Bridge address without the tight-quarters feel that comes with newer subdivisions.
GREAT BRIDGE and the Chesapeake real estate market
Great Bridge is one of Chesapeake's most established and sought-after communities, and 1149 Waters Road sits comfortably within it. The area carries a distinct character — tree-lined streets, larger lots than you'll find closer to the coast, and a genuine neighborhood feel that residents tend to hold onto for decades. Great Bridge traces its roots to one of the earliest battles of the American Revolution fought on Virginia soil, and that sense of history gives the area a grounding that newer master-planned communities simply can't replicate. When people search for great bridge chesapeake va, they're typically looking for exactly this combination: space, stability, and proximity to everything the region offers. Chesapeake itself is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, which means you get suburban breathing room without sacrificing access to employment corridors, shopping, dining, and the broader Hampton Roads metro. Waters Road specifically sits in a quieter pocket of the neighborhood while keeping major routes well within reach.
What's nearby
Step outside and you're a short walk from two green spaces. Stonegate Park is just 0.3 miles away — a quick trip on foot for morning walks, afternoon runs, or letting kids burn off energy after school. Cheshire Forest Park sits 0.6 miles out and offers another option when you want a change of scenery. Beyond the parks, the broader Great Bridge corridor puts everyday errands, restaurants, and retail along Battlefield Boulevard within a short drive. The area's road network connects efficiently to Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Suffolk, making 1149 Waters Road a practical base for wherever life takes you across Hampton Roads.
